I graduated RHS in 1966, my family business was here, and am presently a resident. I love the new website! So much fantastic information. Your work in preserving our historical and beautiful town is so appreciated. The information on other matters that affect the residents of Roslyn such as the covid pandemic is also great. It's wonderful to see the work the Landmark Society is doing!
Funny you say that Isabel because most people did call me by that diminutive form of my name. When my mother was angry, she'd call me Kenneth.
My memory used to be excellent, but now, not so much. Did you have an older sister or step sister? Did you know Merri Hollander (Brian's older sister)?
Exactly as I thought. I dated Susan briefly and Merri as well. Merri became a dear and close friend and she is now in a care home, suffering from Dementia.
The last time I saw Susan was in Chicago years ago, when I was on my way back to Utah from the Duck Pond Reunion and Susan was there for an Expo. She can tell you about it if she cares to.
Merri introduced me to Susan more than 2 decades ago.

I grew up at 65 Ash Drive which appears from the street and house overlays to be completely "within" the mansion's main house (on the north side of the intersection of Ash and Lufberry). My Dad built many of the homes in that immediate area in 1958 and we didn't know this until now! We always had been told that our house was at the highest point in Nassau County. We also knew that one of the horse statues was behind the house on Poplar Dr. and the other was at my high school. The house was sold after 62 years in 2020 and the new owner sent me the link to the Mackey information.
So relieved that this beautiful, historic structure has been saved. I've driven past to admire it many times. An oddity in Lakeville, but in a good way! That you for this decision.
Greetings,
The Roslyn Landmark Society has been instrumental in preserving Long Island history, many thanks & much respect for your ongoing & impressive work. The history of the Mackay Horse, impeccably restored, & now 'living' in Gerry Park is as fascinating as is the statue (breathtaking). I have a question, weren't there two statues?
Peggy, no immediate photos are available for 21 and 23 Main Street. However, we will dig further. Hope that you will join the Roslyn Landmark Society! Howard Kroplick
Do you have anything on the Walter and Rose Reynolds— they rented a store and lived up stairs on Main Street where the Jollyfisherman is located now. They were my Great grandparents. Walter was a cobbler and made boots for the gentleman and Rose had a dry goods store. There daughter Mary married Bill Witzig and there son Walter Reynolds Witzig (Renny) was a RHS teacher that died in the ‘70s. A VERY popular well loved PE teacher (departmenthead) and football coach. I would love to see any pictures of the store and any information of this part of our family. For some reason Mr Moyger did not include them in ‘Roslyn Then and Now’??? Thank you in advance for ANY information you can pass on.

Hi Isabel,
Ken Merena, RHS 1966 (sort of)
Hi Ken, Nice to hear from you! Isabel
I hope you are well, Isabel and especially that you are safe from the covid-19 pandemic.
Aloha,
Ken
Aloha to you too Ken (I remember you as Kenny)!

Susan is my sister. Merri was in her class. They lived near us in Northwood.

This house really should be corrected as the Losee/Dugan Jr House. I refer to it as this house was built on Losee land by Samuel Dugan Jr.
