Yes, I remember this one. And since I found this site it's amazing how much I do remember.
This is the best!
I went to PS273 and JHS166. Saw Brian Hylan,Stevie Wonder and Jose Feliciano in 166.
Graduated in 65 and moved to Queens.
How about the younger brothers of the NLB (Little NLB)?
Do you remember: you can go out and stomp for joy, but no one stomps on a New Lots Boy??

Today Brooklyn,tomorrow the world.
As for Johnny Reb, he had a girlfriend Janet(can't remember her last name right now)
He was a headcase but had a gentler side as long as you didn't get him upset!
