THIS VIEW FROM THE FRONT PORCH OF MY CHILDHOOD HOME ON HARTLEY AVENUE WAS TAKEN IN 1944. KUSER FARM IS ACROSS THE STREET (NEWKIRK AVENUE) IN THE PHOTO. THIS PORCH WAS A SHELTER FOR MY FELLOW HAMILTON HIGH STUDENTS EVERY MORNING AS WE WAITED FOR JOE LAYTON'S BUS TO PICK US UP. ON RAINY SUMMER DAYS, WE PLAYED POKER, CATCH FIVE, HEARTS, AND OTHER LONG FORGOTTEN CARD GAMES, AND OF COURSE, THE PLACE WE PLAYED "SPIN THE BOTTLE," "POST OFFICE," AND "*DARESEYS." *PRONOUNCED, "DARE-ZEES;" REMEMBER?
