I remember them well, although they had been shut down for years. My grandfather supplied much of the wood, but he called them coke kilns.

My brother sent me this clipping from a paper published by the Hampden County Improvement League which was a state agricultural extension agency of U-Mass.
We done good. My 2 year old that won first in the state also was Grand Champion at the Eastern States Exposition. She had a purty mouth. Showmanship was a spotless animal groomed with shiny hooves and horns. Led by a person with white shirt, khaki pants(creased), shiny shoes and combed hair. Not my bag. |
Go Bruce!:cheerldr:

99 is pretty solid.
I have an aunt in her early nineties. Lovely woman but she seems tired. I have zero aspirations in the longevity department unless health sciences develops to the point where I can avoid the rocking chair. Even then, I know the world is changing too fast for my ape brain. |

Somebody defaced your old copy of The Hampden.

It's the commies, they quit the cold war and ruined everything, no more full employment, strong unions, high tax rates, nor a chicken in every pot.
Now they skulk in alleys frightening urban foxes and defacing mid century communications mediums. :rtfm: Oh, the humanity. At least they caught the perp that burned the outhouse. Took six months but there was no police force. There were three selectmen, one was up for election every year, and the one up next was the Chief of Police for that year which means he got any mail addressed to the police. Oh, and he had a Chief badge. Only saw Pop flash it once, at an asshole hunter too close to the house. They had two part time uniformed cops that directed traffic by the two churches on Sunday, and kept town meetings and elections orderly. I think that was a legal requirement but I doubt if either cop was legal. The State Police covered the town. I suspect they just listened and waited for somebody to brag or talk, then have a chat. We know you did it, pay for the damage and it will go away, or we can call the staties to lock you up and go through the courts and newspapers. Much rural law and order worked that way up until the mid 60s. |

Found a picture of my Mother's parents. It's their wedding photo in 1908 when she was 18 and he was 28. Both made 92.

That's remarkable hair for 1908
