  Brent Murray Brian - I didn't go to Brother RIce, but when you mentioned a Brother Courtney, I remembered reading about him in a lawsuit. Google Christian Brother Edward Courtney to see what he did.

  Brent Murray Iris - Saddle shoes and penny loafers were teenage favorites a long time ago . Here's an ad from 1956 for the grand re-opening of Kinney Shoes in Evergreen Plaza. It was closed for a time to enlarge the store. It may be too small to read. Click on the ad to enlarge.

  Joe Geringer Kids today don't know what you mean when you say sock hop. I tried explaining it once to a room full of adolescents who looked at me lke I had green snakes crawling out of my ears.

  Joe Joria Did you see today that Paul Revere of the Raiders died? Do you remember seeing them at the Brother Rice sock hop? I think they were there twice that I know of.

  Julie Marschand I saw Paul Revere's death notice.  
  I was at a Brother Rice Siock Hop and stood right in front of the band the whole time! Up close and personal and loud as a dynamite blast! Great musicians, great costumes! Great Music! RIP.
