Welcome everyone! Please share your memories and stories of that eccentric but magical little place that was Quintano's School for Young Professionals. Please share photos of yourself past or present, the school, other people you knew there by emailing them to me. I am working on a comprehensive history of the school which will be on this site when I finish. The goal of this site is to preserve the history of Quintano's and also to enable old friends to find each other. Need your help!

Looking for old friends Lynn and laurie Ryan, twins who attended in the early 70s....

Hi all-
I graduated from Quintanos in 1974 after attending for two years. I remember Mr. Mosier (so cool), Mr. Flannery (so handsome), Mr. Donohue, Mr. Fox, and of course, Dr. Quintano. My husband thinks it's hysterical that our "gym" consisted of a ping-pong table. I and my friends Karen O'Sullivan and Janet Huntington were really good friends with "The Machine," with Buddy, Lance, Lonnie and one more guy.

Thanks Lia, for starting this site. I look forward to seeing more.

hi to all the 72 graduates, hope you all are alive and doing well, i ofter think of the great times we had and how lucky we were to be there at that time, remember the coffee shop across the street, and french fries with gravy.....those were some of the best years of my life

thanks for this web site.

I work at the NYC Dept of Education and received a call from a former student seeking a copy of his diploma - in case I receive other calls, who and where should I refer them

Hi Lia and anyone else who might remember me. I graduated in 1970 and spent plenty of time in the Park. Names I remember most are Joe Lewis( didn't EVERYBODY know Joe?), Ellen Kroner, Michael Evans and his brother Phillip, Elyse Kimmel, David Goldberg, Gil Isaacson, and most of all Mark Fisher. I live on Cape Cod and have 2 grown children, both artists. Would love to get an E-mail form any of the above...

Attended 1979-198. i got pictures !

crazy class of 69 anyone out there?Elliot where are you?Cliff Drake,Liz,Skip .When and where is the next reunion

I just signed up with LiveJournal and was glad to see Quintano's was listed under New York schools. I have a minor correction to the main web page, where it says Quintano's was there through the "early 70s." It was actually through the late 70s. I graduated there in 79, the year they moved a few blocks away off Columbus Circle. But they were on W. 56th until the Fall of 79. Anyway, I hope there will be more activity around this site!

Hey all, class of '83 here, when the school was located near Columbus Circle. Diane Lane was in my class that year. Anyone else around from that time?

Monica
