Ron, This is just a note to you and has nothing to do with this picture. You are a few years younger than me so you may not remember this. In 1963, President Kennedy rode down Church Ave. in a parade. I saw him and he waved to all of us. The next year President Johnson followed the same parade route. I was in the second grade at IHM when JFK was killed. Robert Brennan hadn't moved into the neighborhood yet. He and I became friends at IHM. Your stories jog my memory and I have remembered things that I haven't thought about in years. If you ever have the chance to speak to him you might mention me. I called him this past summer but I think he must have thought I was looking for a handout. He was wrong and I'd love to talk to him but don't want to bother him. I'm a semi retired network engineer living in Easton, PA. Email is: rconte01@rcn.com
Please enjoy all our stories of what it was like growing up in Kensington and Windsor Terrace in a time long forgotten. And always remember the streets that raised and taught you well.
