NYC Classified Memories

Of Love, Life & All the Four Seasons… a Bite of the Big Apple.

By: Annette Gonsalves

Matrimonial advertisements symbolize the hopes of every youth of marriageable age. The anxiety, fear, nonchalance and aspirations of the prospective bride and groom form an array of human interest stories in NYC Classified Memories by Annette Gonsalves, Retd. Sr. Manager of the Classifieds Ads. Dept. at India Abroad Publications, NYC. It clinches her observations from a first-hand account of the horror of 9/11, through the nostalgic, true love stories of advertisers who gladly shared their experiences with her. Coupled with the flamboyant Indian festivals and seasonal events that unfolded in NYC, each story is unique and grips the reader with the mystic aura of India blending in with the potpourri of America. “NYC Classified Memories brings alive a personal appraisal of Indian Americans in their quest to find a life partner. The easy flow of thoughts, with a humorous twist and mind-boggling trivia grips the reader from page one.” - Sr. Maisie P. Psol, Retd. Principal, Divine Child High School, Mumbai. “NYC Classified Memories puts together a truly unique and fascinating compilation of vignettes from the newspaper India Abroad. Anyone who has ever read it will fondly remember Annette's weekly column of funny, thoughtful and poignant stories wonderfully preserved for posterity in this charming book, for an even wider audience, as long as people live, laugh and love!” - J. Gallentine, Ads. Exec., Bulletin Board, India Abroad, NYC. “The insight into human nature in this book is relatable across all ethnicities. Learning about Annette’s observations on the Indian cultural rituals and traditions makes one realize that we are all so much more alike than dissimilar. This manuscript was a joy to read.” - J. Monroe, Educator, NYC.

The Lou Conter Story

From USS Arizona Survivor to Unsung American Hero

By: Louis A. Conter,Annette C. Hull,Warren R. Hull

The Lou Conter Story: From USS Arizona Survivor to Unsung American Hero tells the incredible story of one of the last remaining survivors of the USS Arizona. More than just a recollection of the events that transpired in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, this book also records the author's memorable experiences before and after the Day of Infamy. Conter was on the USS Arizona deck when a Japanese armor-piercing bomb hit one million pounds of gunpowder stored in the ship's hull. He helped rescue crewmen following the explosion and dove into the wreckage to recover bodies in the days after. In 1942, Conter went to flight school where he earned his wings and became a VP-11 Black Cat pilot. He helped rescue over two hundred Australian Coastwatchers stranded in northern New Guinea and was shot down twice -- once swimming with his crew while sharks circled. Conter also helped rescue over two hundred Australian shore watchers up the Sepik River in New Guinea. After World War II, he became an intelligence officer, flew combat in Korea, created the Navy's first SERE program (survival, evasion, resistance, and escape), and served as a military advisor to presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. Lou Conter shares his Pearl Harbor experiences with high school students throughout Northern California, and he returns to the USS Arizona every December to take part in National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day activities to honor and remember the 2,403 service members and civilians who were killed during the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor. In 2019, Conter was one of only three remaining crew members out of the 335 who had survived the attack on the USS Arizona. He was the only survivor able to attend the memorial event.
