I'm sure parents today would be horrified of the filth we played in. Loved knowing all the neighbors and hardly ever being indoors. I believe we were more healthy and happy. Even though I had an alcoholic father, I still remember my life outside of home being great. Walking or riding bikes everywhere.

You were talking about the fastpitch teams that played in the Fourth of July tournament. ... This area had some great teams. Fastpitch softball was the reason I came home after service. Major Wolfe was the coach of the Police team when I worked Princess Park in '65 and he took an interest in me and came to all my Legion games. He told me that when I turned 21 he wanted me to join the Police force and play ball for him. Well, when I turned 21 I was on a patrol boat six miles south of the DMZ. He passed away before I could play for him. But I did join the Police Dept. and did get to play fastpitch for the Police team and our team was made up of firemen and policemen. I am like you, the stories summer can tell.

I do recall seeing The King and His Court, though. As I recall Eddie Feigner sometimes pitched blindfolded!<br />Nico Van Thynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072351355184106484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125402567351329247.post-11180831998817427402013-07-03T12:25:48.090-05:002013-07-03T12:25:48.090-05:00From Keith Annison: This sure brings back memories...From Keith Annison: This sure brings back memories of Shreveport summers; the only thing you forgot was the Dairy Queen. ...

I remember going to Cedar Grove to watch baseball and to hang out at the pool/park; the Oak Terrace park hadn't been built yet. Yes, I also recall the single window AC unit at our house. Do you also remember the big water chillers (a treat was when Daddy would go to the ice house and get a block of ice on Saturday and put it in). Wow, what a treat.Nico Van Thynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072351355184106484noreply@blogger.com
