Funny that yesterday I was listening to River and thinking how pure and beautiful it is. Joanie is clearity and light in a very grim time for us….a reminder that truth is key to our hearts. My brother Phil taught me to love Joanie…

Shaun, I really enjoyed this highly entertaining and truly amusing story. Also, knowing all the key players in it made it all the more interesting. I truly hope this finds you and Wendy extraordinarily well. Few people in my life have made a more lasting (and positive) impression on me than you. I thank you for our times together at TASIS and Fessenden as well as the wonderful gifts of your brilliance and thoughtful insights on social media. You have achieved legendary status in Eastern Washington! I assume that you are still in touch with Doug. I would love to reconnect with him. Is it possible for you to share his contact information? Again Shaun, thank you for all that you have done and continue to do as a consummate teacher and a source of common sense in an increasingly crazy country. You’re the best! Dale

Comment on Skating Under the Stars – A Christmas Memory by Tom Salvi

Enjoyed that wonderful story. My skating was not the best. I always love skating at different places in Wellesley. Never knew of Knowles pond. I do remember Longfellow pond. But mostly I enjoyed my short walk from my Hollis St home across the RR tracks to an 2 areas just below the Town Hall. The first one was next to the College Taxi. Victor Maccini would flood a hollow area and it would freeze. It was a popular spot. I’m sure Chris Gorgone would know this spot too. Then on the other side of the Town Hall was another area. This was the popular Duck pond. I attended St. Paul’s church and would regularly stop and feed the Swans and Ducks on Sunday morning before services. During the winter my neighbors would gather at this location to skate. It was a little more risky because of a constant flow of water. On the way home from skating we would like to stop into the train station where the post office is now at Grove St and RR Ave. In those days we had freight trains over 300 cars long passing through town. I used to sit under the bridge at Crest Rd near the Townsman office and count the trains. Getting back to the train station, it always had a pot bellied stove going during the cold weather for passengers so it was always a great place to warm up after skating.

Thank you for this lovely story of memories of olden days and me skating, yes , outdoors which today seldom happens. I lived in the Woodlands and walked down Halsey Avenue to our skate pond known as the frog pond. Like others we had to wait for it to freeze but if you fell through you were probably only knee deep so no safety issues ! thank you for sharing this memory it brought a tear to my eye and many found memories of my brother playing hockey and me doing my figure skating , along with many other children in the Woodlands neighborhood !

I love this piece. Beautifully written, smooth and adventurous like skating. I skated with my family at Rockridge Pond, Longfellow Pond and occasionally Kelly Pond. There was a small pond called Station Pond we would walk to down by the train station at the bottom of Croton Steet. It was never safe, but if you fell through it wasn’t deep. Here in Falmouth we skate on the cranberry bogs.

It is unreported, Pepper, which is why I wrote the piece. The worst followed by the best – all in one memorable season.
