Memories of growing up in Needham:
Walking to high school with Barbara Birkett and Karen John, practicing the songs in Oklahoma, Sound of Music, Porgy and Bess.
Riding bikes with friends to Wellesley, Dover and the Endicott Estate in Dedham.
Roller skating all over town with the old fashioned key skates that tightened over one's shoes.
Watching the snow fall and hoping the sidewalk plow didn't come so we would have a snow day off.
Playing outside every day, with no structured activities, just being kids on our own, catching fireflies and putting them in jars, playing hide and seek in the dark.
