My Aunts must have sung this song, as they waited for their husbands to come home. At our little table, Sundays we had our aunts join us for dinner. Dad was 4 F, which meant he could not go to war, so he was an air raid warden for the neighborhood. "When the air raid warning comes on... can I come with you, Dad?" It was not to happen, my job was to pull down the shades, and shut off the lights, til the air raid warning was over. Dad would put on his white helmet and take his white billy club, to patrol the neighborhood, making sure the lights were out and everyone was safe!
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!
