1935: STAR PORCELAIN PICNIC

I was only 2 years old, so obviously was not among those who "snuck" in as we used to say about gaining entrance to Hamilton's Plagg's Grove. Had this picnic been held 10 years later, I would be you would have seen me and many of my childhood buddies who always managed to gain access to the picnic area via a secret entrance we we made in the old corrugated steel fence that surrounded the area. Interestingly, I see a Joseph Geraci in the photo. I was in "Kay's Follies" when I was in the St. Joachim/St. Anthony PTA vaudeville group. Joe Geraci (Jr.) was our talented choreographer.

HI TOM.... JUST A LITTLE COMMENT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I WORKED AT STAR PORCELAIN FOR 17 CENTS AN HOUR IN 1937. I EMPTIED KILNS (OVENS)WHILE THEY WERE STILL HOT AND LEFT AFTER THE GUY IN CHARGE SAID I WAS'NT FAST ENOUGH FOR THE AMOPNT OF MONEY THEY WERE PAYING ME. CAN ANYONE IMAGINE THAT. BEST REGARDS.
