Summary:
What did happen to that pretty girl in the front row? Or to the boy who was your best friend? Or to the teacher? Gerald Eskenazi, award-winning New York Times reporter, went back to a place in Brooklyn called East New York, to find out what happened to his junior high school class of 1950. He discovered the neighborhood has remained with them, and in many ways shaped all of them.
