I have driven by that building so many times in the past and didn’t know it was your mini Fenway Park! I remember you all playing baseball for EBHS and being very good. It all started with wiffle ball!

Yes! Haha. Unofficially referred to as Kingman Memorial Stadium. A lot of activity took place there. Hope you are doing well!

Great job Jay. We had the best times

at the Kingman’s. They treated us like family and Mitsi always made sure we had

plenty of drinks and food. Best childhood

ever in little old East Bridgewater.

So true, Mike. I would still like to read the letter you left there on the table, and it was great to catch up with you last year.

Well done Jay! The things that so many young kids miss out on because they are inside on the phone. The door was always open for anyone at the Kingman’s. Mrs. Kingman welcomed everyone.

That sure was a long time ago Terry. I remember watching you do photography in that studio I think. Do you remember me? Kevin Dion, I lived on Keith place in the old school house in the 60s and early 70s

Hi Kevin, I remember you and your family. Hope all is well! We had a great neighborhood! The Latremoilles/Sylvester’s, Boucher’s, Cornell’s, Connors, and the Reid’s. The Davis clan came a little later if I remember correctly. We played all of the old time neighborhood games. Hide and seek, etc…

I seem to recall days out there when we would all be wearing Dutcher Motors shirts.

I think Dutcher’s sponsored one of our neighborhood teams… I think they were Maroon and yellow.
