Although these e mails were sent to me I want to share them with everyone, especially the guys on the Reunion Committee.

 Phil Gerardi, Greg Colarossi, Joe Furino, Paul Librizzi all put in their time, effort and money to make this event a reality. There was a time when it looked like the reunion was falling apart. These guys refused to let that happen.

Our determination to celebrate the 60th anniversary of AOT, and to honor the Brooklyn Brothers, as well as many of our founding members from Long Island chapters was what kept the spirit alive. On behalf of all of us please accept our heartfelt thanks to all who attended the reunion, and to all the authors of the wonderful e mails sent to the webmaster account which are listed below.

You did a great job! Congrats.

Fred,
I don't know what motivated you to set this up but I'm extremely glad that you decided to invest so much of your time and energy. I would rank this as one of those defining events in my life that not only stirred up a lot of terrific memories but also helped my adult (supposedly more) mature mind put the
whole AOT experience in perspective. It was great to meet so many Brooklyn guys.

Fred,

The thanks go to the likes of you.  Very much appreciated and I had a great time.

Count me in for future endeavors....after the cooling off period or otherwise.

Again, thanks

Just a note of appreciation Fred for a job well done.  The balloons, napkins, pictures, plaques and certificates were indications of a well planned affair.  Please extend my thanks to the rest of your committee that although we didn't know many brothers there, everyone made us feel at home. Once
again well done and I'll save my sweater for the next one.

What a great event!!!  Hats off to you and everyone who helped.  Seeing everyone again brought back some great memories.  It's been over 30 years since I last saw some of the brothers.  I hope to make the next brew up.  Keep me posted
Again thanks,
AOT rules!!!!

Fred,     Nice job!!!  I know a lot of work went into the reunion but after talking to the boys from Brooklyn it was well worth it. They were quite touched and that alone should be thanks enough for all the work you did.

Fred, excellent job on the reunion party!! I know it took a great deal of time & effort on your part to pull this off, so you should know your efforts are greatly appreciated. I had a great time as well as my wife and her brother Paul Russo Pres.1973. Once again, great job and I'll try to make one of the future brewups. I know Phil Gerardi was a big help to you in organizing this as well so send a big thank you out to him also. Take care, and hope to see you soon.

Hello Fred

I/we should be thanking you for pulling this off.  It was a great event.  The Brothers who did not show up really missed out on a once in a life time event.  I know it was strange for me to see some the Brothers for the first time in 38 years.  Think of (My Brother) Rudy.....47 years.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Fred,

I certainly did enjoy the night and want to thank you for brining us all
together. I like the idea of continuing the Brew Ups and look forward to attending my first one.

Regards,
Rudy

Who knows? maybe we can do it again. Next time we need a bigger committee. We can get 300 people at the next one.
