QUESTION....WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN A PICNIC WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY? ANSWER....A PICNIC WHERE THOSE FRIENDS WERE ALL BRIDGEMEN & THEIR FAMILY'S, OF COURSE! THE BRIDGEMEN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PICNIC ON AUGUST 9, 2008 WAS PLENTY FULL OF GREAT FOOD, MUSIC & PERFECT WEATHER! YOU COULDN'T HAVE ORDERED BETTER WEATHER! MANY PEOPLE BROUGHT PHOTO ALBUMS OF BRIDGEMEN DAYS GONE BY. SOME BROUGHT THEIR NEW GRAND CHILDREN, MYSELF INCLUDED, FOR THEIR VERY FIRST BRIDGEMEN EVENT! SOME ALSO BROUGHT THEIR DOGS! CHILDREN, DOGS & BRIDGEMEN OH MY! IN THE CENTER OF THE ACTIVITY, ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS PRESIDENT CLAIRE KRONENFELD SET UP A TABLE WHERE TICKETS FOR A BASKET FULL OF STATEN ISLAND YANKEE GOODIES WERE THE GRAND PRIZE, WITH ALL PROCEEDS TO GO TO OUR BRIDGEMEN BROTHERS IN NEED, JERRY MORECRAFT & WHITEY! THE WALL PAPER OF NEWARK BAY ACTUALLY HAD SPEED BOATS & JET SKIS GOING IN & OUT OF VIEW ALL DAY! IT WAS A FINE TIME HAD BY ALL! ENJOY THE PHOTOS! THANX TO ALL THAT ATTENDED & IF THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE YOU, THEN MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T MISS THE NEXT ONE!...................JOHN N
