Transcription

WILLIAMS PARK - In the '50's all of the bus routes began and ended there in the middle of town.My 9th grade true love, Judy, from rival Tyrone Jr. High and I used to take our buses from the opposite ends of town, meet in the park. and walk hand in hand to the Florida Theater. I used to put such a crick in my arm trying to find a comfortable way of putting my arm around her should up there in the balcony seats. I recently heard that her second daughter was married this year.
