Body:	<i>Gary, I must say, I am amazed at your recall, and the detail you describe from so long ago. I'm with with you on about 50% of the stuff. My world was so small back then, I hardly crossed over the railroad tracks that bordered my neighborhood to the west. I remember: - sneaking down to the ditch that borderd the railroad tracks, catching guppies and trying to keep them alive and giving them names - when Mill Ave. was 2 lanes - walking to Dr. Fuller's office (Gari Ann's Dad) from Broadmor, by myself for a root canal when I was 8yrs. old and not being afraid of anything - the Vet on University making a 'home visit' when our dog 'Spookey' got hit by a car and putting him to sleep (saddest day of my childhood) - when we moved from Ill. we got a dog, 'Wimpy' when we bought the house - riding on the bus to the Chandler games and passing acres and acres of farmland - College Ave. when it went all the way through (just like Phyllis) - the Ellingson's huge home on the corner of College and University - my Uncle Leon's toy store, the House of Toys on Mill just north of University - watching the Scottsdale boys drag race way out on Shea Blvd. - my Dad taking his Boy Scouts hiking at Pinnacle Peak which was far, far away - playing jacks in the breezeway at Broadmor school - riding my bike to school and not having to lock it up - shopping at the Boston Store and getting our PE clothes each year at Joe Selleh's - going home with Linda Rogers several times after school; she lived at the ASU farm that practically bordered McKemy; we fed the chickens, collected eggs, and fed her horse 'Done More'; he had that name because 'done more' damage on the farm than any other animal, she said - picnics (and parking) at South Mt. park with Jerry, Nancy, and Ed, when I think Baseline was a deadend to the west - having sunrise breakfast with Kalai Theta Club from THS at the highest ramada at Papago Park, celebrating Good Friday, several years in a row - catching scorpions and taking them to Dr. Stankey at ASU to make anit-venom, for 10 cents a piece, I think - going to a 3 Dog Night concert with Hutch one summer, all the way into Phx. at the Colliseum - sitting on the curb of Broadway Rd., playing 'cars' with my friends - tours through Hayden Flour mill and getting a cute little 1 or 2 lb. bag of flour - wanting to make sure I looked cute and was outside when the cute paperboys delivered the TDN - my parents allowing me to put an add in the TDN for my parakeet when his cage fell and he flew away. They also paid $50 to have stitches put in under his wings when the cat go a hold of him. - hiking 'T' mountain and changing it back to a 'T' after McClintock made it into an 'M' As you can see, my memories were much 'closer to home'.
