-We use to swim at the bottom of the dam
-My 3 sons enjoyed throughout many a summer ❤️
-In the 50's for sure!!
- Mom didn't see us all summer.
-I used to hate it when some dummy would shoot a harmless old turtle and the poor thing would stink for half the summer.
-Yes, snapping turtles would nest on the island, or come ashore to the sandy beach area.
-FISHED THERE, JUMPED OFF BRIDGE THERE, DID CRAZY BOAT RACE THERE, WATCHED PAUL SPITERI DIVE IN THERE, BIKED THERE, NEVER PLAYED VIDEO STUFF THERE, GREW OLDER THERE, WONDERFUL PLACE THERE, GREAT PICTURE
- it was a great place to live and grow. Not much in the way of supervision but the world didn't seem to be so full of perverts and mental cases. Speaking of diving in my best memory was of Dick Weatherall, he parked a model A / T on the middle span, then climbed on top of the car and dove off. His foot slipped and instead of a swan, he did a belly flop. The report of him hitting was worse then a 12 gauge shotgun. He never let on that he was hurt. (big balls) In reflection I think if he had done the dive right he would probably killed himself, as I am not sure if the water was deep enough for a proper dive.
