Think I used to pass your paper about 1952 to 1954. Had the old 22B rte for the Independent. Did your Dad work at Parsons? Saw in the paper the other day where Jerry Clark and his wife, Beverly Aylor, won a trip to the Super Bowl.
Worked with Wilbur Aylor at Armco for many years until he passed. Have not heard anything about their boy for years.He worked for Armco in Middletown. James I believe was his name.
See Pokey Whit every so often at the Mall. He and his wife come in their quite a bit.
Ran into Roy Parsons over there at the Mall one day. He is a couple of years younger than me. His brother was one of my favorite people of all time, and most everybody elses around the corner - John Parsons. If ever a monument is put up on that corner, he should be it.
Do you remember Mr Faulconers Blacksmith shop at the top of the hill on Blackburn and Plum St. He did a lot of work for my Dad back in the 40's. We alsways had horse and mules back then. Boy, that was some time to grow up!!!!
