East-Enders' Alumni Association

         This Web Site was first created on March 22, 2001, by former East-Ender Jim Sullivan.  Jim was born and raised in the East End of Bridgeport, living first at 93 Clifford Street, a short dead-end street off Newfield Avenue, from 1944 to 1956, before moving "up on the Avenue" to 1834 Stratford Avenue from 1956 to 1962. 

        Jim graduated from Blessed Sacrament Grammar School in 1958. He then spent a somewhat "unremarkable" freshman year at Notre Dame High School before transferring to Harding High School for his final three years and graduating in 1962. "Still the best move I ever made -- well, not counting my convincing Mary Ann, my wife of 40 years, to marry me back in 1969, of course!"

        Jim and his twin brother, Joe, were more generally known as The Sullivan Twins  "back in the day." Here is a 2001 photo of Jim (on the left) and Joe:  View: Jim and Joe

        Retired from the U.S. Federal Government's Civil Service since 1996, Jim and his family live in Cary, North Carolina, their home since 1969. He is a 1999 Magna Cum Laude  graduate of North Carolina State University, where he received his BA in History, and where he is currently a Graduate Student pursuing a Master's Degree in American History (with a concentration on "The Civil War" era, or as it is more commonly known here in the south, "The War of Northern Aggression." Being I'm originally from Connecticut, I always chuckle a little when I hear someone use that particular phrase!)
