1939:119 HARTLEY AVENUE: I WAS 6 YEARS OLD

The Glover family was still struggling from the aftereffects of "The Great Depression." Our vegetable garden (seen in the background) and our flocks of chickens and geese held us in good stead during those lean years. "Sniffy" was the love of my life. He was an unusually intelligent little fox terrier. Sniffy was so friendly and talented that someone dog-napped him and I searched the neighborhood for hours looking for him.

THIS GRAPHIC IS FROM THE "NEIGHBORHOODS" FOLDER. IF YOU HAVE A PHOTO WITH AN IDENTIFIABLE BACKGROUND AS IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN IN THE PHOTO ABOVE, WHY NOT SCAN IT AND SEND IT IN FOR INCLUSION IN THE "NEIGHBORHOODS" FOLDER AND ALSO ON THIS SITE. IF YOU HAVE A PHOTO OR PHOTOS, AND SCANNING FACILITIES, PLEASE SET YOUR SCANNER TO 250 OR 300 DOTS PER INCH. FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE PRESERVED THE PAST FOR THE FUTURE.
