    Coney Island - Attn Nicole Saidi (sp?)

     

    In your first article (Sept 07) you did a wonderful piece on Coney and you interviewed me,  we did an audio clip and I have a lot of history to share as my family goes back several generations in Coney. I have included more pictures to back up the last interview, pictures of my grandfather w/his dummy, my grandmother as a burlesque (sp?) dancer. I even added an ad w/my grandfather and his dummy. I have a lot more to share, the world shouldnt miss out on such a wonderful place to have seen, lived, or visited. We moved away so time ago and its never been easy to get back, but I have had the opportunity to share my old stomping grounds with my children. My brother and I are trying to raise the funds to get back to Coney just one more time before they put her to rest...she'll never be the same but we'll always have our memories. Let me know if I can contribute more, I have memories and historical photos. To only get home, just one more time :(
