I lived where the Cashel House is in the late 50's. Went to Tompkins school in the 2nd and 3rd grades until they closed it. My father used to go over to Coleman's when it was a neighborhood bar. I can still remember mugs that were hung over the bar that I believe had customers names on them. Also lived on Coleridge in the late 70s'.
My first mother, Mary Louise Brooke (née O'Connor), a Syracuse native, died Oct. 3 in London (England), where she'd been living since the 1960s. The funeral is Tuesday, Nov. 19, with calling hour from 9 a.m.-10 a.m. and funeral Mass following at 10 a.m. The venue for both is All-Saints Church, 1340 Lancaster Avenue, Syracuse, N.Y. (https://www.allsaintssyracuse.org/). Burial to follow at Onondaga Valley Cemetery. For further information, contact me at 917-741-9501. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Mary Louise Brooke to amberations.org, "bringing people of all abilities and nature together." For more information about my search for her and subsequent reunion, read "'Birthday Boy': Searching for Patrick O'Connor." (Photo: Gerry Regan and Mary Louise, Summer 1999, New York, N.Y.)

What's the link to the story about the 'stone throwers' in Syracuse? Good one to list here! Perhaps as a discussion.

I'm not in Syracuse, but I'm close! Does that count? :)
