Andy McLoughlin Mercy '67

Bronx,NY

When I graduated from Mercy in 1967 I went to Southampton College, In 1968 I enlisted in the US Marine Corps, I went to VietNam as a machine gunner. I was wounded but finished my tour there and when I got out I took a job with the Suffolk County Park Police where I worked for 34 years. I have been retired for 4 1/2 years now.

I remember all of the nuns very well and the dances in the lunchroom. I also remember the basketball games and going to Docs for pizza after the games.
I remember when the only fast food in Riverhead was Rickeys on east main street. and then they put in Bics ( where Burger King is now) and all cutting through the woods for burgers.

I remember doing doughnuts in the parking lot with my 56T-Bird along with Steve Borkowski in his 59 corvette on a snowy morning. 1st period a message came across the loud speaker for the two in the cars doing the donuts to come to the office. Then I remembered walking in from the street every day as punishment and not being able to park in the lot.

Lots, for any and everything.

Going to Vietnam, my job with the Park Police & my kids and family

I don't feel very old other than the bumps and bruises of the past forty years. As Mickey Mantle said " If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself"

Yes, pretty much just hung around town and in Papa Nicks. Ran into Sister Mary James in the WT Grant store across from the school (see the demerit section)

Did some bodyguard work for Led Zep & Bad Company. Went out to Montauk and met Dick Cavett at his home met the Stones at the house they were renting in Montauk on an interview. Hung out with the Rascals when they were playing at the Barge on Dune Road and i was working the door at The Eye down the block.
