We had a Party Line for Telephone service, Growing up I remember the Crank Phone and remember my Phone number, 2748, Gramps was 2749, I remember my Mother Listening in on the Telephone as did others during other peoples phone calls. We were a Community as if you screwed up you could bet your Parents heard about it before ya could get home !!!!

A sorority, yes. Bowling league, too. But they weren't necessarily 'like-minded individuals.' <br /> like to think our living here in the small-town Southlands is a community. As Rush might say, any merry band of Marxist Lenninists would find this a most hostile environment.

It was very fun and involved the county fair, lots of kids doing multiple projects together with parents as leaders. The boys were in the scouts, girls too....so more fun. We grew up with the same kids thru school and church groups. I guess we could call all that being in a ' community.' We loved the community picnics. Growing up within all of it was not only fun but educational. We employed the same interests for our own kids as well. I always thought ' community ' was nurturing. Jack, you did it again, igniting memories of our past, good memories. thank you<br />loven'hugs from up north where we celebrate today, another brother into the ' 65 and older community.'Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-28868919687772780532021-03-13T08:53:06.204-05:002021-03-13T08:53:06.204-05:00Our Church has always played a big part in the com...Our Church has always played a big part in the community I lived in. I worked for them in the school, our children were part of that and the Scout Tropp too who did a lot of volunteer work for them. Now I no longer have children at home, but it still remains a big part of my community.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-13904372119083490282021-03-13T08:22:01.651-05:002021-03-13T08:22:01.651-05:00I have not been part of any community.
