Past Hauntings

So Lyla and Tracy's wedding went splendidly.
Lots of hard work paid off. I will have pictures
up soon. Austin went to Augusta GA for his 25th
reunion and he took some pictures of my past
(thanks, Austin!):
This is the entrance to the Montclair
subdivision we lived in when we moved to
Augusta in 1965. Across the street is a
gas station where I got my hand caught in
a big mouse trap when I reached into a
box on a high shelf to get a candy bar.
Lenore went to kindergarten at the church
you see in the distance.

This was was our American Graffiti-like
hangout. There was a pine tree strewn
shopping mall parking lot across the
street. We called it The Pines. Cars were
always coming and going. I don't remember
drinking there but I do remember driving
by a lot just to see who was there.

This is Squeaky's
Tip Top - cheap beer, pool tables, a
great place to hang on Friday nights
and before Father Fitzpatrick's 1:00
history class.

This is the YWCA where I took
synchronized swimming, gymnastics and
taught ballet, modern and tap. I can
almost smell the chlorine and hear the
muted underwater speaker sounds of
Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Kraftwerk
that Teresa and I used for our synchro
swim masterpieces
