Re: Let's Reminisce....

Unfortunately, I didn't grow up in JA. But I have often listened to my husband tell me about his childhood. Alot of what I have read here are things he has spoken of. Catching the birds to eat, slingshots, farm/country living and the work involved. He's from Bethel Town Westmoreland.

I know this. It made him strong and healthy.
