AB MESSAGE BOARDS

THESE BOARDS ARE PUBLICLY VIEWABLE ONLY--MEMBERSHIP HAS GONE TO A PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP GROUP DUE TO THE PROBLEMS INCURRED WITH SPAMMERS AT VARIOUS WEBSITE MESSAGE BOARDS.

TERMS
Anyone I invite to the posting membership will need to be aware of the TERMS of the site and these will be provided by this link. The people I invite to be members will fall in to the age group of 40 through 70. There is no charge for membership and never has been. Having this tribute to Early American Bandstand and memories of prior decades is my way of giving something back, as I was provided many great memories growing up as a teen in the fifties and then being a young working woman in the 1960s.

KEEPING AMERICAN BANDSTAND ALIVE !

Per Justine Carrelli July 25, 2010: "This event of June 23, 2010, took place in South Carolina and is the brain child of Richard DiRocco who went to Bandstand in the early early days. He danced with Rosalie Beltrante alot after Nino Bambino went into the service. There is so much to tell about the night. Richard and I were the only ones there that attended the show with any frequency. The rest of the gang in the room were fans of American Bandstand. MORE LATER... Everybody that never was on the show got to relive a version of the things we did on the show. Richard's wife Lois had gone to the show several times and she is on stage with us singing a 50's top ten. Justine"

FRANI GRADUATION PHOTOGRAPHS SENT TO JEAN KRISTANKO BY FRANI GIORDANO IN THE 1950s. We thank Jean for sending these for your viewing pleasure. I have received at the website several of these graduation photographs from other people and will acknowledge their contributions as well under the thumbnails when I get them to the page I am creating for Frani.
In July I will be concentrating mainly on Frani Giordano pictures so that I can get her page completed that I will open at the site before long; however, I will still try to get up some pictures of other Regulars this month.
