(Photo contributed by Pat Farrell who writes, “Tommy Collentine is first left in the back row, then Jerry Sullivan, Kennedy and, my Father Bill Kane (Kano) . First row Tom Stieigan (little Tom) and Packy Gibbons. They all grew up together in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. All went on the docks as teenagers. We all moved to Inwood during the war when rents were cheap and apartments were available.”)
