OMG! Too funny John… so very long ago, Mrs Montgomery was the poster child for the word “ Dreaded”… and as second graders we were lambs at the slaughter…. The picture is from, I think, 5th grade…as cameras hadn’t yet been invented when we were kept at the two room schoolhouse in 1st and 2nd grade.
Elaine lived at the top of the hill by the ski area and across the street from the penny candy store. She brought me treats every day and knew just how easily I could be bought, literally for pennies. I wish that store was still there. Fireballs… oh yeah!
Poor Jimmie, such a kind soul, he passed a couple of years ago… he never hurt a fly. I almost spit out my coffee reading your description of him…There’s a book in these memories, in this town, in those times… it could never happen today, we were truly innocent. Until we weren’t.
Hahahaha. So glad you liked it. I thought you're remember all those characters. And the Penny Candy store, what a place! Mark and I were regulars. Black licorice, what an invention!!! Thought you'd really like this one. Hope the studio work/the band is working out well. Thanks, my friend...

I read it aloud to Francois and laughed until I cried. Loved it!
