thanks clyde, nice reflection. have looked up ray dewberry a couple of times and havnet found him on facebook
my 1st grade buddy whose fdad worked for honeywell and got moved to pakastan in 61 or 62. wtote a letter, got one back that was that.
the pictures are of you and your buddy with the snow on your shoes and you and your brother and sister on the fence?
great shots.
my childhood was in the new burbs of bloomington with the corn fields across the street and a mix of transient hmesteaders who ended up in cheap burbs tract housing.
my neighbors rarely lasted 10 years but that didnt dawn on me at the time because i was only a 5,6,7,8 year old. the pals moved every 3 or 4 years so when you had a best frend it wasnt long before he was gone. jd grace moved 1 mile north and i had what we would call a play date today one time and that was that. friends were within a two block area. finding things to do of interest was the key. kindred spirits until they werent or until my interests changed. theirs never did.
i learned how to side into a group, learn the culture and decide how i would fit. i think it has come in handy along the way.
interesting folks for a childhood. i hope my kids did a better job than i did of keeping track . i think social media makes it much easier to stay in contact good news or bad than it was in the boomer days.
