Blizzard of 78'.....Where Were You?

[saltfly]

I worked for MA BELL in hull,cohasset,and scituate.A friend called me to help get out of his basement appt.in hull.the water was pouring down the stairs as we grabbed what we could and drove out with water coming in the doors of my 76f-250.We got to higher ground and stopped to watch lobsters and tommy cod swimming where we had just left.We couldn't resist,we went into the water and grabbed appx.35lobsters in less than 10 mins and got out of town to my appt.in weymouth landing.We invited evryone from the bar accross the street and stuffed ourselves.I used my new x-country skis to get to peoples houses to fix their phones.Alot of houses in scituate & cohasset the phone cable was at eye height on the skis.Then we started on body recovery duty[3 people were missing in scituate] we tied lines to our climbing belts and dug into houses filled with rubble looking for the missing.The devistation was unbelievable.But truthfully it was alot of fun working together with all kinds of people for the "cause".I could go on and on with stories.I was 27 yrs old.and the partys oh man!!!! The police chief in Braintree closed all the package stores and bars I think it was on the thind day after the storm.
