Ralph Howell columns
Dear Editor:

I so look forward to reading the "Remember When" series by Ralph Howell.

I remember him as a studious, handsome, bright, quiet, young man who was an usher when I graduated Babylon High School in 1941.

I remember living on George Street in Babylon in 1934 across from his grandfather’s home and the E. W. Howell Lumber Yard and Hardware Store on Cooper Street.

I can also remember my father and I dropping off newspapers for Matt Sumner to take to Oak Beach. I can also remember the vacant building where the Babylon Post Office stands on George Street which by the way, I built, where once stood the South Side Hospital.

Remember when all the kids from North Babylon, South West Babylon, West Islip and Deer Park came to Babylon High School and we had the greatest class of 125 students that ever graduated from Babylon High School?

The class that went on to win the "Great War" and also to suffer the demise of a great Baby-lonian like Rocky Grasso and Dave Bernstein and many others. I am going to suggest to the administration at Babylon High School that a commemoration for the Class of 1941 be included in the Graduation exercises. Please keep your memories going.

Louis A. Wenger,

West Babylon
