In the summer, we spent almost every day at the Feltonville Recreation Center. It did not have a pool. It did have a basketball court, a baseball field with cinders in the outfield. And an area with a swing set with sand on the ground.

Misses Lentz was in charge of the Rec. You did

not mess with Misses Lentz.

Almost every day there were disputes amongst the boys. When it got nasty we would yell,

"have a fair one!". That would mean the boys that were at each other would square off while the others would circle around while the went at each other...It usually lasted less than 3 minutes!

That was 'then'...this is today.
