My alma mater too, Carl. We even walked up Dead Man's Hill every day,
except when it got real snotty we'd head over to Jefferson. I even lost
part of a front tooth on the asphalt hill.
I figure that sometimes we just gotta let go . . . The world is
changing. Time for the hard choices.

"Sell off West Park and Russell". Close my alma mater, Russell School,
where I was undisputed tetherball champion circa 1959? Where, on the
steps
leading down to First Street on the way to the public library, I
realized,
at the age of 10, that I was madly in love with....whoever she was? Say
it
ain't so, Dan.
