MOE HAD FUN

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

When Nancy and I were eight and nine years old, we loved to go roller skating, not in a rink, but outside in the neighborhood. Our skates clamped onto our shoes, and we tightened them with a skate key. We would disappear for hours at a time going miles away from our house. No one worried about us because it was a safe time then.

We also loved going to the movies. We walked to Main Street which was about two miles and stayed for the double features at the Strand or Embassy theater. I can still remember the splitting headaches I would get spending four hours in a dark theater.

We also loved swimming. Every nice day we walked to the A.W. Stanley Park which was about a three mile walk. The pool was like a pond with no cement lining.

We stayed for hours swimming and playing volleyball with our friends.

In the Winter, we ice skated at Stanley Park which was only about a mile walk from home. The Park had a building where you could put on your skates and get warm. It’s no wonder that by the time I was in High School, I weighed only 96 pounds. I was very active back then. Our days were always fille d with outdoor activities, and in so many ways we were healthier kids.

Oh, for the Good Old Days! We had so much fun.
