Hey! Paula was a candy striper

Hi Stan,
I hadn't checked the website for a couple of weeks and when I did today it was to find all the trivia debating going on. We moved to Alex when I was in 8th grade and I remember going to religious classes at the Catholic church on Wednesday afternoons and not going back to school afterwards.. I met Claudia Johnson the first week of religion classes and we became fast friends. It was great to read all the trivia, the music (I think I could remember almost all the songs listed).
I didn't spend much time skating at Noonan's Park but did spend tons of time skating at the rink in "the big hole" behind Central school, and remember all the music they used to play there. We did live next to Our Lady of Mercy Hospital. Does anybody else remember being a Candy Striper at the hospital?
