Welcome

Patty, Susie and Dick invite our cousins, family and Halcyon friends to our FAMILY and HALCYON MEMORIES blog. I thought it may be fun for us to share our most favorite, precious memories of our life and times growing up in Halcyon - and remembering - and honoring - the many people that helped us along the way. Do you remember the spontaneous gathering when Uncle Bob Lentz "found" Bernard? Many of us came together in Halcyon to hear and tell stories (and enjoy Peppermint Schnapps). Remember Dr. Gerber being the most perfect emcee while I was recording the conversation using a little tape recorder? I still have the cassette tape from that evening. How many more stories are there to be told, that we can pass along to our children - and their children? I am hoping this blog gives us that opportunity. Two ways to join in the fun! First, please COMMENT on any post with your own memories, reflections. Second, BECOME A POST AUTHOR (contact me to set up permissions) and post your own memories or treasured photos.

Home Sweet Home

Looking over that big hedge at our house - there are many memories about that hedge.  The side of the hedge bordering the bushes by Halcyon Rd must have been six feet across at the top!  Dad was so proud of how he was still out there trimming it in his later years.  I remember looking for plastic balls hit by Chelsea or Shawn when we were playing baseball on the lawn.   Dad would scream at us to not break the hedge. 

The driveway:  I recall when Patty's new boyfriend, Amos, taught me how to pass a football from center to a punter.  He played Center for the AG Eagles, didn't he?  So I became a Center, too, thanks to his coaching. 

What else about the front yard ......

    Oh my gosh. I never knew Amos taught you about football passes. He loved football and would be happy to know you cherish these memories.
