Letter From: EDWARD JENKINS; To: David T. Feliciano; Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007; Subject: StAgnesAlumni.org - FYI
Hello David: On the website, "Here's Another Memory Photo by Joseph R. Stanaitis." There is a caption: "Does this Ring a Bell, fellows playroom in the Winter..." the tall Black fella standing sideway is in fact me (If I'm not mistaking anyone else). I was always tall for my age and Coach Jim Faulk use to call me "Stretch" at times. Looks like me. My hangout was the Gym and work duties were in-charge of the clean-up crew. Principal Sister Angela was always on my case. (smile). Edward Jenkins (Eddie)

Letter From: Lou Reyes; Sent: Monday 10/02/06; Subject: StAgnesAlumni.org - 2006 Alumni Reunion Picnic Photo Slideshow DVD
Hi, My name is Louis Reyes, class of 1953. I always have good intentions of attending each year's reunion but something always comes up. I did however attend the 50th reunion and met many of my classmates and long forgotten friends. I can see that you all have a very wholesome gathering each year. Please continue the good work in bringing us all together. Time is running out for some of us. Gerry Merna corresponds with me just about every week and brings me up to date on the happenings both at the house and Piermont. God bless his soul. If you don't mind could you please send me a copy of that DVD from the last reunion. I sure would appreciate it. Thank you very much. God Bless You, Lou Reyes

“Home Kids: The Story of St. Agatha Home for Children,” By Nancy Canfield: "Book Recounts Author's Life in Orphanage:"
By Pat Sherman UNION-TRIBUNE COMMUNITY NEWS WRITER, March 10, 2006. "Nancy Canfield knows how a single, immutable event can forever alter a child's life. In her recently published book, “Home Kids: The Story of St. Agatha Home for Children,” Canfield recounts the years she and four siblings spent at a Catholic orphanage in New York."  (More....)

'Home Kids' By Nancy Canfield: The story of St. Agatha Home for Children:
"We're going to take you kids,"
he pointed to each of us sitting on the couch and said our names in a sing-song voice "Jackie... Tommy... Hellen... David and Nancy," pausing between each name as if to prove he knew them, "to see a school tomorrow, a boarding school, see how you like it." He said this in a voice that implied it was temporary, like we'd have a choice about attending. With those words the Canfield siblings began a journey that profoundly shaped their formative years. Home Kids is Nancy Canfield's courageous retelling of her family's dramatic story and the inspirational story of St. Agatha Home for Children.  (More....)
