Question for the old timers. The original West Village Green dates back to the early 50's. On the far
north corner (the side closer to what is now Holy Trinity HS) there was a deli. What was its original
name? Ken Marcus 1967
(The photo is just for flavor, it's not a photo of the deli in question.)

Lynne Lombardi 1971 I remember it being Jay's deli but that may have been later on
I think it might have been called Trinity Deli, but I could be wrong and that could have been in the 80's
thoughEdna Garcia 1985
Don't know what it was before the mid 70's when it was Jay's Deli. Then it became the Trinity Deli in
the 80'sMaureen Kelley Conlon
At Holy Trinity, the class of 76 or 77 had a song about Jay's Deli as only Seniors were allowed out for

Good morning. Just got off the Hicksville website. Was trying to look up some old photos of Hicksville
as I was raised there. Even started out going to Nicholai Street school for Kindergarten, then transferred
over to Woodland Avenue. I remember all those pictures that have been posted. Broadway in Hicksville
before they widened it. I will try to dig thru my old photos for some vintage pictures. Yours Truly

allow me to still attend school at night, stable schedule, and will be working with the teacher who
teaches my networking class at the college (really smart guy I can learn a lot from!). The commute is 1.3
miles. I start mid-December!...Janine Endsley Way
Back in the forties and fifties, there was an apparatus called an Iron Lung. I was
living in Philadelphia in the late forties and was about 8 years old when my dad took me to see one. It
was a real eye opener and I can still visualize the encounter. Who remembers the Iron Lung? Was
anyone directly affected by the apparatus?...Buffalo Bob Casale 1961

I remember them and I may have actually seen one while I was
in the hospital suffering from polio in 1949 . I got it while living in Hicksville. I remember being in a
large 'ward' room with many other children in the room as well (crying ) I was in Meadowbrook
Hospital now called Nassau Medical Center . I remember my parents visiting me by the window by my
bed because I was quarantined. In fact my house was quarantined as well as my cousins house one house
away . There was a huge epidemic in Hicksville at the time. So yes I remember Iron Lungs.

Those pesky squeeze tubes that most often unravel as you roll them up and that are not really receptive
to store bought clipsgo and buy some jumbo office clips and use them to contain the rolled up
product. You should now get to use every squeezable ounce!!!

Picture of a soldier sleeping during an airport layover with his canine partner. There is no measure of
loyalty greater than what shown here. Sleep soundly soldier. A worthy goal in life is to be as good a
person as your dog thinks you are! God bless our Military men and women and God Bless
America!...Art Lembke 1949
Good Morning BobI dont know if you received the post I sent you on private about
Vinny Luna. I just read a post from his daughter that Vin passed away last night (November 16, 2016).
Its so sad as he was such a caring and great person. Stay Well. Keep in Touch
Phil Spalletta lost his battle to cancer this evening, November 5th, 2016. A treasured son, a wonderful
father, a terrific uncle and friend, a brother to be looked up to! Phil was a graduate from Hicksville High
School class of 1972. May God rest your soul so you may find peace. Our hearts are broken! Phil, as
your favorite guitarist once said, "Eat A Peach for peace and I hope you have found yours! We love
you!
Dear BobAs per your request, it is with sadness that I would like to add the name of
my fellow 1971 HHS classmate, good friend and close neighbor Carolyn Stack to the list. She passed
on in August 1994. (I just happened to be on Long Island for my father-in-law's funeral, so I was
grateful to be able to attend her viewing.) She lived on York Street and her parents and my parents were
part of a close knit group of neighbors who got together from time to time for parties, bar-b-ques and
other events. After graduation from HHS she went on to Adelphi University as did I, but unfortunately
our paths did not cross. It is very sad to see the names already listed. I knew some of them from
grammar school but lost touch. Their lives were cut way too short. Kind regardsGeorge Wink
