music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

"Enchanted", the 2nd World War had ended

Another peek at what is coming

"Enchanted" by
Madlyn A. Fafard

 
My 6th grade class at Memorial School, Framingham, Mass, probably 1946 right after the war ended. I am on the far right in the third row back. We too, became part of Framingham of the future, many of us lived around here for most of our lives, Framingham, Ashland, Medway, Holliston, Sherborn, Southboro, some went far away, forever.

Soon you will meet Madeline my friend with the birth defect that caused her head to twist. On her right is my good childhood friend Arlene Scansaroli and behind Arlene is Marie, the sister of Madeline. Each of the faces has a story to tell, but, how I can tell them all I think, as I allow myself to fall back to those days.

I see Rita Stevens peeking out, third row on the left, saying, to my wandering mind, “How could you forget me?”

These “kids” where family to each other through out the war.
