Very interesting information. I have a personal experience with the Mount Loretto Home that I remembered reading this thread.

In 1970 I was a senior at Cardinal Spellman HS up in the Bronx. I was in the glee Club and was in a rock band with 3 other Glee Club members. In mid-December the Glee Club director got a call and was asked to provide entertainment for the annual Christmas party for the Home's teenagers. He thought about it and rather sending the Glee Club, he asked us if we would go and get out of classes for a day. We said, "sure thing".

It was my 1st experience as a driver on the BQE (in rush hour to boot!). My 1st experience on Staten Island or the Verrazano Bridge.

We played for 6 hours for the kids who really had a good time........but, the thrill for us was the Emcee..........it was Ed Sullivan! We evening made the local CBS news that evening!
