Scenes From The Rock Reunion Year 2010 - Roosevelt Island Teens From Late 70's Return To Lighthouse Park For Fun Times & Good Memories

Group RI

Lighthouse Park was the site last Saturday for the "Rock Reunion 2010", a return of the original Roosevelt Island teenagers from the years 1976 - 1980. The reunion was organized by Dana Doyle (family lived on RI until 2001), Olya Turcihin, Brian Dorfmann (both past and current residents), and Frank Farance (current RIRA President - he was an original island kid as well).

One of the organizers, Dana Doyle, commented:

There was so much love shared on the day of the reunion. Growing up together on Roosevelt Island remains in our hearts and we continue to be good friends as of today. Ours is a very special and unique bond.

There was a "Rock" ing band playing most of the day

The Band.

and night

Brotherhood Band

Ms. Doyle described the band as:

... a bunch of old friends that used to play together as teens and reunited for this event. They had such an incredible bonding experience playing together this past Saturday that they named themselves "The Rock Reunion Brotherhood Band". It was a "love festival" that day, so it makes sense :) Some of them are current professional musicians or in the music business. They definately rocked!

Here's the band in action. On keyboard is our very own RIRA President Frank Farance.



The Roosevelt Island Reunion photos were taken by several different people.

The photos after the jump and video were provided Rebecca Knell.

I also received old 1970's pictures from some of the Reunion kids of Roosevelt Island back in the day that I will be posting soon. Stay tuned for those pictures.
