On 4/20/05 (5:47:18 PM MDT), Arlene Dunkum (adunkum@adelphia.net) asked, "My father was in the Convalescent Home for Hebrew Children in 1928. I thought the home was gone but have recently found that it is now the St. John's Home for Delinquent Boys in Rockaway Park. It is on Beach 111th Street. Does anyone have knowledge of this home, either in the past or present? Does anyone live near it that could take a picture for me? I would love to have more information about this place." If you haven't already done so, you might want to check out the Hebrew National Orphan Home, it's an excellent site for all Jewish orphanages int he U.S.: eMail: HNOHalumni@aol.com http://www.hnoh.com/ Good luck.
