Larry Stahl - Facebook Friend of the Day

 

Larry Stahl was a good friend of mine when we were students at Russell Sage JHS 190 in the early 1960s.  We both went to Forest Hills HS at the same time, but drifted apart.  He went to Queens College and then to law school.  He relocated to Baltimore and was a successful attorney there.  He later became a managing administrative law judge.  He has 4 children and 9 grandchildren.

Some memories of Larry:

• In the 8th grade he brought a small reel to reel tape recorder to school and recorded some lectures.  Our math teacher went into a rage when he told her he was recording the lecture.
• Some mutual friends were Josh Socoloff, Eric Fradkin, and Alan Nelson.
• If I remember correctly his Bar Mitzvah was at the Regency House in Jamaica.  He invited our social studies teacher and her husband to the reception.
• There was a baseball player named Larry Stahl who played for the Mets in 1967-68
• I remember going to his house to listen to the album The First Family by Vaughn Meader.  Thea album may be heard on YouTube.
• He lived on Clyde Street in Forest Hills and was a member of the Young Israel there.
• He was a big fan of Steve Allen

He recently posted on the Forest Hills High School site for alumni from 1960-75.  I sense he is not active on Facebook.  Let's see if he discovers this journal entry.
