Hello brothers and sisters, if you wish to email me and talk about the home and good times please do so. I also have many photos when I was a child in 12 hayden and in Gonzoga and would like to identify the other people in these photos. I would like to post on St. Agatha website. Is there a way this can be done? I do not want to use facebook or other website methods. I want everyone to view the photo on the St. Agatha web site where it belongs. Please advise.

Was in 11 Hayden had many good memories of that place. Pretty rough as we get older. Remembering being away from our families and not being like other kids who were with theirs. Now I get all nostalgic about it and often use goodle maps to get a good look at the old place. So many kids have passed through there and never looked back whereas us rare few do.

Remembering Michael… I remember when “ABC” was easy as 123. When “I Found That Girl”. Yes, my “Mama’s Pearl”. So I thought! Shortly thereafter, advising that same girl to “Stop The Love you Save” for it may be your own. “I Don’t Know Why I Love You” I recall professing to her on bended knees. Maybe it was that “My Forever Came Today” when she walked into my life. Truth be told, I even sang out “I’ll Be There”, “I Want You Back” and that I am “A Fool For You”. Thought I was her “Sugar Daddy”, then I thought “Maybe Tomorrow” she’ll come back to my arms. Did she listen? Only the Heart be told. Well, “She’s Out Of My Life” But hey, remember that was back in grade school. Can anyone relate? Yes I remember when many a childhood interests seemed to bare little consequence or gain in the grand scheme of things. Simplicity was the norm of the day. Just a child lost in the games of play. Guess one can “Never Say Goodbye” through the eyes of a looking glass. Thanks Michael! Despite the shortcomings, life has a bit more to be taken from and appreciated because of your contributions. Light a torch, “Heal The World”. For this, we owe you a debt of gratitude. We can only hope it translate in making this a better place for you and for me! God Bless!

I want to express my gratitude for this site. I have reconnected with Christine Santiago who I knew when I was about 10 yrs old and she about 6 yrs at the home. Then she came to live in the same group home in the Bronx when she was about 13 yrs old, for about a year. Then one day she just disappeared from the group home. I have dreamt about Christine a few times over the years, wondering if she were alive and well. It has been nearly 30 years and there she was on your guestbook page. words can't explain. This is like a miracle. To reach out to someone and they are right there with you. Only homekids can relate to that. God bless.

***Hi Jean - you're WELCOME. The names were given to me by my brother WILFREDO whose memory for names I envy. It's always good to know that the little things we do, DO touch lives in very unexpected ways. From my family to yours: God bless.

Thanx to those incredible "brothers and sisters" from Saint Agatha who were able to identify the people in the photo, Graduating Class 1965. Because of you, I was able to find my long lost sister Suzanne. It is she, not Cecilia, who is in the photo. Still, thank all of you very much for finding my sister. I couldn't even recognize her until some of you helped.
