Mickey McLaren – Down Memory Lane

Nov 3rd Mickey McLaren – Down Memory Lane

When you think back to when you were a kid in Grade School, – Do you think of the Names – old Friends – what do you remember and why? What in the world could they be doing, Today? It must be the change of weather and the Stores with all the Holiday Decorations and ideas – get you to thinking of all the get-to-gathers – and who will I see – from long ago?

Dorothy Jorgensen and I ran into each other near the O’Fallon Park, in north Saint Louis, Missouri in the early 50’s, and had a real good time . We should do it again? Linda Crow and I would listen to the radio – We would push our beds closer together to hear the radio – as late as we could or until we fell asleep. We did not want everybody in the Dormitory to know we had the radio on – when it was “light’s out time!” It was a good thing, that the “Nuns” rosary beads and keys would hit their knee as they would be walking down the corridor halls — it gave us a “head’s up – trouble on the way” – kept us out of harm’s way!

Lucille Yoergler, one of the best looking gals, and with such beautiful natural curly hair. When you would be doing your music lessons you were always eager to try playing a new piece of music that I had just received from my Mother! Today , my sons and grandchildren all have musical talent, and when playing music – old memories keep a coming my way!
