“Give ME, Five Minutes more to remember”
“Just FIVE (5) Years Later”
“Yesterday…that is what is seems to be – – just “YESTERDAY” when we three little children of Mr. and Mrs. Denny McClarren Sr., would spend a day together in the “Fair Grounds Park” and enjoyed taking a few PHOTOS – – of which… I am NOW so Grateful and Thankful – – that our FAMILY owned such a small little box – – that made the most wonderful ‘Memories’ – – that I treasure – – since these old PHOTOS – – bring to LIFE – – to reality – – proof… positive… that back in the 1940’s our FAMILY did have days of real enjoyment – – even though there was … that war – WWII going on – – and the TIMES were tough for all of AMERICA… then.”
“When you walk around in the PARK… there is always a “terrific” backdrop of the PARK – – making for every PHOTO – – that is taken to have a very good background – – just to show that a full day spent in the PARK… makes for a really good day to be remember… forever!”
These pictures were taken in Fairgrounds Park, in North Saint Louis, Missouri.
A good guess would be the Summer of 1944! We often walked to the “Park” as this was very close to our home, and we could just go for some time to “Fish” and or “Play” and also do with our parents.
One of the stories you will read about, (just check where to find it on the “search” bar)… is my having to crisscross through this “park to buy sugar when on sale, and of course in those days you had to have your “Ration” coupon to even think of buying sugar!
Many years later, when in High School – I walked through this very same park, to and from school, with my arms full of BOOKS each and every day! No bus service!
