I would have been right at home were I to be in one of those "Our Gang" ("Little Rascals") 1930's movies with Spanky MacFarland and his depression era playmates. With my tattered poor boy clothing and my beloved dog "Sniffy," I am posing on the dirt sidewalk of our home at 119 Hartley Avenue in Hamilton. In the very background of the photo is 131 Hartley Avenue, where we moved in 1940. Hartley Avenue intersects with Newkirk Avenie at Kuser Farm Park. Today, there is a paved sidewalk completely around the block and Hartley and Newkirk Avenues are no longer gravel streets, but paved with modern asphalt.
