I also expected more HOME KIDS at the event October 9.  It was nice to meet the Foundling Staff and a few other VIPS.  It was really put together very well.  From the welcoming committee to the daily sessions it was really great.

Hello to all of you who have worked so hard in putting this website together & thank you!

While I am not an "official homekid", I am the offspring of 2 homekids: Necemio "Ness" Martinez and Irma Echevarria Martinez Cruz. We have many, many photos that we would like to share with you to add to this website. Please feel free to contact me at the above email address or my mom, Irma at mikeirma3743@yahoo.com and we will be more than happy to share them with you.

I'd also like to note that while my father's name was on the list, my mother's name was not & neither was her sister's (Lucilla "Lucy" Echevarria). Is there a way for their names to be added to the list?

I'll be looking forward to hearing from someone soon and I'm positive my mother would like to be contacted as well.

God Bless you all.

Hi My name is Linda
I remember loving exploring the grounds of St Agatha, going into the pool in the summer. Walking for hours in the woods alone. I loved the trees and the small buildings.
I don't remember people too much so If you remember me please tell me. I know I get into a lot of trouble. I did have two really close friends, One girl was Gloria and another was Leo. I remember one counselor taught me how to play backgammon and until this day I still play and I am  really good at it.
Some of the counselor's name were Bob, Dee, and Cathy. My brother Eddie was there too. I will always be so grateful to the home. It give me a place to feel safe.
I also use to work in the Canteen. I appeared in the town newspaper,  I still have that clipping. I am scoping ice cream while a man with really curly hair is looking at me.

My mother, Elizabeth Wood, worked in the little boys unit with Sister Magdalen.  We went to work with mom and went to school at St. Agatha's.  I had Sr. Sylvia for first grade, Mrs. Binshoff (sp?) for third grade, Mrs. Pollock for 4th grade.

In addition, my dad, Richard Joseph Wood, was placed at St. Agatha's when he about 4 years of age, after his mother died in 1922.  I think he was there from 1924 until he was 18.  Also, my uncle, Edward, who was a year or two older was at St. Agatha's as well.

Is it possible to get my dad's records for genealogy purposes?  My dad is now deceased and he knew nothing of his family.  There may be some tidbit of information to help me in my search.

You may contact me at the e-mail above or my phone - 269 823-3893.  Thank you for any help you may provide.

Elizabeth Joan Wood Campbell

P., S.  I have a picture of my grandfather, dad and uncle, in front of the boys dormitory taken in the early 1920s.  Let me know if you would like a copy.

I and my brothers arrived at St. Agatha's Home on February 10, 1974. I went to 72 cottage, two brothers: Casey and Luis Torres, went to 11 Haden, two other brothers went to Seton Hall: Thomas and James Regan. Thomas left after 3 mos., but I and my younger 3 brothers were there through 1979. We also were in a group home in the Bronx, Haverstraw and then New City. Contacts are welcomed, I also have many pictures, I have yet to post.
