First Post

This is a blog about recent history and things I remember from my childhood.

The title is taken from the poem "The Hunting of the Snark" by Lewis Carroll.

Inscribed to a dear Child:
in memory of golden summer hours
and whispers of a summer sea.

Girt with a boyish garb for boyish task,
Eager she wields her spade: yet loves as well
Rest on a friendly knee, intent to ask
The tale he loves to tell.

There will be no logical order to the posts.  Just things I remember from my childhood.  A kind of mish-mash of memories.

Take it away Barbara.
