Remember When......

[kevin d]

When Rocky Point was a place well worth going to?

The Feast in Portsmouth at the PPACC was THE place to see your friends during the summer.

You could fish almost anywhere on Aquidneck Island and nobody bothered you or had your car towed.

Paragon Park? Lincoln Park??

wow.. now it says "No Beach Access"
Ardath and little Joe feeding the Eldia crew.. Glenn Svenningsen building and driving the "raft" that moved the station.. people leaving their buggys in the field, and the barns near the duck farm, and then after that...over behind Bill Sunocos house on Rt. 39.. not only no stickers, but no liscence plates on a lot of the buggys.. the chicken and turkey pies at the duck farm... duck eggs.. people Smiling and Waving, even if they didn;t know you.. everybody helping everybody else... lot of us say that 4 wheel drive ruined the beach... Charlie Darling and Robley Fulchers camp.. the "Duck Inn".. just below the station on Pochet hill.. their outhouse with the two views.. Ocean, and Bay...

Old Goat..If I don;t know you, we musta waved at each other at some point. Thanks for the memories...
