Great Site! I grew up on the Hill opposite Trowbridge park, where we used to play baseball and horse shoes in summer and ice skate in winter. Sacred Heart School was a two minute walk up the street. I still remember Kenny Damato and Art Tatta from the neighborhood. I'll bet I worked with a few of the names I saw listed in your site like, Kroll, Colletta, on the railroad. Is that you posing at City Point Yacht Club?

Growing up in Truman School's "back yard" on Washington Av made the school a constant in our lives. It was our playground. We always had enough kids to get a baseball game going and if the ball went into the outfield, it was a given "in the park home run" unless we had a great fielder out there. It took us 2 minutes to get home for lunch and 2 minutes to get back to school, and there was always someone to walk with and talk to. Always great memories of our years in the Hill.
