I remember how rare it was to have the ice with no snow and in the month of November. The only people I specifically remember playing on the ice during that rare time was Dad's friend from work, Gordon Pitman's family. They had 3 boys too and lived over by Triton Central. Add the neighbor, Amy and her boy and I think that is who the group might be. I also remember taking our 8 trak player that looked like a dynamite control box - changing the trak by pressing down on the "boom" handle. I also remember having Andy Williams playing for just a few minutes while we skated and skooted. Then Andy died because it was SO cold that the batteries drained quickly. Bummer! I almost had my triple sow-cow jump timed perfectly with Andy's song McArther Park. Ahhh memories.....Emmaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849284967405838163noreply@blogger.com
