You Tube Video of Roosevelt Island An Island PlaceLast Saturday, Southpoint Park was the site for the “Rock Reunion” of 1975-85 Roosevelt Island kids who attended PS/IS 217. 
It was a chance for those attending to renew friendships, exchange stories and see how, or if, everyone has changed over the years.

One person described taking the Tram back then as like drinking a Gin & Tonic. Another person said that the children at the time could play wholly unsupervised because parents didn’t have to
worry about someone sticking a needle into them.
Although, according to the video, that led to an unusually high number of abandoned children for much of the day because parents were not worried about the safety of their son or daughter.
