| Memories: |
A lot of good memories...a few not so good! The
infamous "Cherry Tree" incident probably rings loudest...
Coming from a large family...with 3 brothers and 4
sisters...being 6th of 8...1-6 all being 1 yr apart...every day life was
full of adventure...I've forgotten more than I remember and could still
write a book...
For me. hangin out at Baratto's pop corn wagon, hot
peanuts n hot dogs...playing the first 2 seasons of Cambridge Little
League at 11yrs old, standing a foot taller than the rest, winning both
seasons...walking, riding bike or hitching a ride to "The Lake" all
summer long..."Satan's Children", my brothers rock band, so cool (lol)...exclusive
trout fishing at "The Reservoir" where fishing was not aloud for anyone
other than my cousin Bob and I. (Grandpa Vic was Superintendent!)
Carlton Fiske attending our baseball banquet just to meet us...trimming
Christmas trees in the summer (lol)..we sucked at it...if we all
behaved, we'd enjoy a worldly adventure to "Hathaways" in Hoosick,
"Carols"? drive through hamburgers in Bennington, living on Myrtle
Ave...playing on the hill, sleigh riding, hiding behind the stone wall
and throwing apples at cars as they went up hospital hill..."Racky" our
raccoon...
I was very fortunate to have great memories with many
childhood friends...especially Doug, Candy and Barb...just hanging
out...being goofy...life's best moments...I love you all!
I remember being Grandpa Vic's "Right Hand
Man"...Grandma Ina's "Little Man"...and spending countless time with
them...then in 8th grade, on my last day of school for the summer,
walking home...I learned of my grandfathers death...and I remember
hurting so much for gram...I ended up staying with her for the whole
summer...to be her "Little Man"...years later, I realized how much she
was helping me get through that time...I love you gram!
I will always remember "The Seed House"...the covered
bridge...standing on our front porch, waving to MOM as she worked across
the street at "The Seed House"...I always wondered if she was trying to
help feed and cloth us 8 kids...or avoid us (lol)...there were many
times like my first year of "Punt, Pass N Kick" and how MOM was so
concerned that I would be crushed if I didn't win...I was so determined
I would...and she smiled proudly when I brought home my first place,
red, white and blue jacket...she tried to support me as best she could
throughout my childhood...to this day, I can't imagine the undertaking
of 8 children...to the dearest and most loving influence in my life...I
love you MOM!
