One of my cherished childhood memories is: growing up on Northwest Third Avenue. During the summer months I could leave the house after breakfast, hop on my bike and gather up others and we’d ride around town, stopping to play in the park, ending up at someone’s house for lunch (back then every mother was everyone’s mother) and then play all afternoon until the whistle blew at 5 p.m. Then it was time to come home. I was lucky to have a safe neighborhood in which to live, a great school to attend and family and friends who took the time to pay attention to their children.
