Road Repairing, Singapore

Name this little boy, practicing his diving off the board in my sister Ruth’s pool – many many years ago.

Here’s a hypothetical idea for you – If you could turn the clock back for _____what would you find?….where would you be?……  I would be say 10 years old, sitting on the floor in my house in Belmont Mass. And I would be looking through the box of old photographs that were kept there. Photographs of my family’s early years, pre 1946. Family photographs 1924-1946.

Just on the off-chance I googled a well known (to me) name. And I found to my surprise that this friend of the family had recently passed. He was a long term friend of my husband and their mothers had been good friends also. He was a broadcaster with the BBC in Northern Ireland. Walter Love, age 88. Such a coincidence that my husband passed 2 years ago, age 88. Well you never know what you are going to find.
