checking in from pakistan

hi friends,
this is susie smith saulniers in nwfp pakistan, 8 air miles from swat and operations. still working on earthquake recovery and revitalization. Hope all of you are safe and well. thanks Kerry.

ok, sharon, here's another one that martha and i talk about. we used to walk from my house on fairfield st, to the village, then up f-m road all the way to suburban park. martha's uncle owned the tilt a whirl, so we could ride all day for free, and alot of the guys, dean, charlie locke (i think), cliff, maybe les mcdermott, and a bunch more worked there in the summers. then we'd get a ride home from one of them. can't imagine doing that today. i don't even think our parents knew where we were.
just thought of another one. again, with martha, we'd go to de witt, to see some of the boys, and tell our parents we were at a basketball game. then we'd get home, and get the score from wndr so we tell our parents who won.
we were bad, i think.

Halloween 1961

That was one of the biggest congregations of high school students ever in Fayetteville. Dr. Colasanti owned the strip mall at the top of the hill behind the then Mr. Steak. When he heard there was a "riot' in the upper village he drove down and he had his car spray painted and I believe a tire or two slashed. A few of the brave ones rode shopping carts down the hill as far as they could go. And who, especially those from the bogs(lower Fayetteville) could forget the best prank on October 31st. Remember all those cars that were set up on the Post Office steps every Halloween. One of the last ones I remember was a VW. But one of the most on-going things I remember about the time before and after Halloween was the smell of burning leaves as the smoke would waft throughout the Village. Keep on bloggin!!!

Tell Us More

I want to hear more from those of you who had adventures, like setting the pond on fire and having firecrackers in a pocket. I was clueless and my parents didn't let me do anything. I would have to argue with them to be allowed to go to away basketball games, forget about Halloween. On Halloween I mostly got to take my 7-years-younger twin siblings out at 6 pm so they could go trick or treating. Except one year when I was actually allowed to go with Bonnie Naylor and Cherie Fusco who both lived near my house on Huntleigh Drive. I usually spent evenings on the phone with Suzie Smith and Steve Muench translating Latin so Miss Evans wouldn't be cruel to us. And talking to Lily Armstrong about the important things in life.

I want to hear more from those of you who haven't posted anything even if you didn't have adventures either. Are you still working? Where do you live?

Barbie Becker Cook, How are you? My mother is now at East Side Manor - she forgets a lot now, but she can still remember the past and we enjoy visiting together the few times a year I get to Manlius.

Patty Anderson Begg, Jerry and I will be in Honolulu again this spring. We still talk about the wonderful time we had with you and your husband on our last visit there. That was so generous of you both to spend so much time with us showing us your island paradise. I drove by the house on Clinton Street where we both lived (at different times) and it looks the same as it did after my father put the cedar shakes on it. Someone who owned it after us expanded the garage. Remember the rhubarb behind the garage?

Lily, I just remembered the bakery near Rutkoff's and the cream filled pastries. Yum! We went on a binge for a while and went there nearly every day.

OK, so, someone else, maybe you remember something to share too.
