Hi.
Do you know Peter Rivera, Henry Soto, Jose Garcia, Terry Pacheco, Bernard Gerald, Kevin Pryor and so many more....some of the guys they played on the football team the last year that they were there, Terry Pacheco was the quaterback.....Bernard Gerald guard/tackel, Peter Rivera played tight end and I palyed guard/tackel (Ricardo Marquez).....its hard to remember so way back its been so long. Its been over 40 years and I finally decide to see what was left of St. Agnes. It was sad to find out that the school closed down and so little was left to see. I just don't know why they didn't save some of the buildings, it holds so many memores too so many of us. I have a few pictures of the school. and I'll post it up on the web site. Or I'll email it to you. maybe you'll remember some of the guys. Well it was great to hear from you. I will keep in touch. Will keep St. Agnes living in all of us.

Hello Ricardo Marquez:
I am really glad that you were able to connect. I have been in touch with Joe Stanaitis for about 5 years now mostly by email. Its been a great thing for me to be in touch with him, Jerry Merna, Mr. Antonacci and the webmaster David Feliciano.

My two brothers and I were at St Agnes from 1969 to 1972. I do remember Kevin Pryor. He was sort of a legend to me because he could hit a spaldeen from the black top to over the Dorm, and he knew so much about turtles. The last time I saw Kevin was around ~1998 or so at the St. Agnes Alumni Association 50th Anniversary Event.

I come from a family of 10 siblings two of my brothers were with me at St Agnes: Reynaldo Rodriguez and Robert Rodriguez. Ray lives in the Bronx and Robert lives on Long Island. When I was at St Agnes I was in Rosary group and in St Dominick group. Mr O' Leary was the counselor of St Dominicks group when I was there. Mr. Hennion was the person in charge of the gym.

Some of the guys that I remember from St Agnes and I would like to see are: Victor and Jesus Fontanez, Eddie Morales, Felix Mendez, Freddy Justiano, Nicholas Justiano, George Shoby, Eugene Munn, Tommy Martin, and Miguel Collazo. One of the guys Angel Rodriguez became my God Father when I got baptized. I have not seen any of these guys since about 1974; 2 years after I had left St Agnes. I lived in the Bronx once I left.

Some of the teachers and counselors I remember: Wayne Cozart, Ms. Helen, Sister Ann Margaret, Sister Suso, Sister Dennis Michael, Ms Ciderella, Mr. Ellis.

I met Angel Garcia, who lives, in Piermont near St. Agnes at the last Picnic this past August. I have his email address. I got a cold call from Ricky Morales, who lives in California, I have his telephone number. He was in St Agnes during our time frame but I did not know him.

Well I see that you live in Bayonne. My kids and I take music lessons at Pierro's Music on 45th street and Broadway. I live in Jersey City.
