Double Dutch and I was darn good at it. It appeared to me, however, that the favorite game for the boys was to pull my stocking cap off of my head and throw it as high up on the chimmney stack as possible where it would stick to the brick very nicely.
Do you know how many times I came home without my hat and got scolded by my mother? Billy F., you know who you are!
I remember the grasshoppers jumping around on the concrete playground. I have never seen so many grasshoppers again in my life. Weird memory.

Bell Park!!! I loved the Bell Park gang-- the Spasatos, Linda Klein, Sammy Manno, Frank C. The best was ice skating there, shaving cream and eggs at Halloween, and a few years later playing tennis on the "new" courts! But the all time high for us back then was the concert by "Blue Mist." (??) Billy and Joe F., Rich, & Nino C.. You guys still rock in my book!
Aldos on Belmont and New England (?) was the place for hotdogs! The Schorch Village Hall is where we met for Girl Scouts. Mrs. Konecki was our leader.
At Grace Evangelical Free Church, we got to hang out on Friday nights for Awanas. The best part of that was the last hour of the evening where the boys and girls got to play games together in the gym. I was more than a little boy crazy...

After school...work! I lied about my age and got a job freshman year. I worked after school and on Saturdays. I don't think you can lie about your age to work now, but back the in early 70's we did it a lot.
