I enjoyed reading this thread, thanks. I remember several of the names mentioned here including you 'Brina and Cindy Hodder, and of course you Tim. I remember Jim Lavoie, didn't he play basketball? My family moved from Indian Acres to Birchwood Maner, on a street just down the road from Cindy. I knew Cindy and her sister Carol Hodder. They just lived around the corner from the Vachon's and Rory Fox. Speaking of music, I recall several garage bands around the Hiawatha school area. Never had the pleasure of hearing piano music. I heard "Wipe Out" about a hundred times too many on electric guitar, amped as they say. When I think of piano music I think of Oscar Peterson, 'Brina, I didn't know you played piano. Sometimes I wonder if I was asleep during some of those years in Essex! For a time we lived on Wenonah across from the Gavins, next to the Barniers, down the road a piece from the Wagners. I too remember Laird's Store, their daughter Laura was class of '75. I cut through another way to school and cannot remember the names of the streets, but the short cut ended on Hiawatha (I think) Street just down the road almost across the street from Nikki Marchokos' (sp) house, Gerry and sister Kathy Greene's house, Karen Butler's House etc. After school or on weekends, my brother and I would go to Laird's to buy candy as well, walking past the school and through the fields. I think I remember one of those fields was used for crops in the 60's. I was in Vt a couple of years ago and saw that field, which bordered property on West Street, was developed with residential property. Who was that teacher at Hiawatha that bought that brand new blue Corvette?
(P.S.: Tim, I saw the word prayer in the above thread. Positive sign?)
