Dances at Little Flower - the priest walking around keeping an eye on things.
Dating the private school girls - prom at Kennedy Center with Susan Ford in attendance and me with my pony tail scrutinized by the Secret Service uptight guys. (OK, I was probably more uptight.) Field parties in Potomac. Ski trips to Vermont via bus and oh, the parties. High waisted pants. Paraquat Toe socks. (they came back, my daughter wears them) Jesus Freaks hanging out at fast food restaurants and making the pitch (and now I am one) TBC at Four Presby. |

Climbing to the top of the playground Giraffe at Montrose Park. Going to Day Camp there, playing carroms and eating snow-cones. Performing plays at the Rockville Civic Center.
Buying candy at the Murphy's and Kresge's at Congressional Plaza. My parents forbidding us to go in the bowling alley there because "men are SMOKING in there." |

The trash man walking up the driveway to the side of the house, laying down a brown canvass tarp, dumping the trash cans onto the tarp and carrying the load back down to the street. |
