I'm actually thinking of getting a facebook account, but only to link to this forum...vermontersontheweb!

I come back here once in a great while to see if anybody posts a message...not in a long time, but you never know who might turn in here off the superhighway.

Essex Junction...it was a good place to grow up...I had a great childhood here and am thankful for it...some memorable landmarks stand out in my mind...The Tower, the Swiss Chalet and the Indian Acres...on Park Street there was a Creamery near the Agway store...it's a convenience store now, but back then we could watch the milk get processed through the big windows facing the street. Mrs. Abare at the "Little Store" was always behind the counter and was patient as we picked out 10 candies for a dime!

The families...big ones...the Ziters, the Dubies, the Henneseys, the Bowleys, the Workmans...playing in the brickyard...the dumproad...Whitcombs Farm...

I remember some surreal places...a wide, shallow stream where we picked crawdads...somewhere near the boyscout camp...on the Lang property somewhere, I believe...perhaps near the interchange that connects the Riverroad to Rte 2?

The swamp behind the Greenwood Acres where we Vaulted from mossy island to mossy island with long poles cut from saplings...the ponds teeming with life...it was a world without video games and kids were outdoors more, or so it seemed...thank God you don't have to be a kid to be a child!
