BAYVIEW DRIVE CIRCA 1951

The view is looking north on Bayview Drive and standing out in the road near their homes are "Calabro Clan " cousins Adrienne Siriani, Ronnie Calabria and their friend Christine Paprokis (sp?) daughter of a Lithuanian Doctor who was sponsered into the US by Doc Calabro and worked at Bayview hospital. As you can tell Mastic Beach was still very rural then. Barely visible in the background is the caretaker cottage for the Bayview Estate at the 5 corners. You can see it much better herein these photos of when the Clunes lived there.

MORE BAYVIEW DRIVE FOLKS

Over on Grandview Drive at Shirley Beach are the most of the Messinetti Family , Carol with her sons Johnny & Gary also circa 1951. Their Dad Pat may of been the photog, but he was more than likely back at the family Texaco service station Pat & Mike's TCB,
