Warren old man, it is nice to hear that you made it to the position you just retired from. It seems like only yesterday that we all were playing in Brettuns, carefree and full of vitality. As I look around, the old guys that we played with are slowly reaching retirememnt age, and with the exception of Dale, have no idea where any of them are. You at least have made it, and I wish you the best of luck in your retirememnt years. Herb
Don't you find it interesting that a man who was eager to marry a divorced woman with five kids, who beat his own kids, and took his frustration out on his own boys so much so that they entered military service as soon as they legally could and would have faced death than live with him and his wife?. Isn't it interesting that a man who treated his wife's children like his own once his two boys were out of her house, should find himself buried in a plot in a cemetary that no one visits? Isn't it interesting that the woman and her children he sold his boys out for, now lives in Florida, and her children are scattered throughout New England, with nothing to hold them to him? Isn't it interesting that in the town where all this took place, there is no physical evidence of his name ever having been there? Isn't it interesting that neither of his sons ever returned to his hometown to live? Isn't it interesting that both of his sons had to learn how to live in a family like human beings, from someone other than their father and stepmother? Isn't it interesting that both his blood relative sons are scared of women? Isn't it interesting that both of them had trouble with letting their emotions show so that their significant others never knew the boys loved them? Just goes to show you the power of a woman, and a nasty unclean one at that.
I have recently been admonished by the administrator for what she named an inappropriate comment. Maybe the comment was inappropriate, and maybe not, but you had to be there I guess to really appreciate the meaning of the comment and the person involved. This individual was in a position of power and had absolute control over two young boys who were vulnerable, and had just lost their mother. True, it was over 50 years ago, and life is different now than it was then. However child abuse never ends for the victims.
It is odd that there was no mention of her husband's two sons, who were abused. I regret that I was not able to return and get my brother out of that environment. Believe it or not, there are still people who remember that abuse
First of all I feel bad for you to have the bombshell dropped on you. Tel the bum to go back to his old girlfriend, and you get on with your life and find a partner who appreciates you. We can't all be professionals in bed, and each partner is unique. He should either keep his comments to himself and find a street woman to handle his needs.
I grew up in Brettuns and the very best place to swim 47 years ago was Brettun's Pond. The water was clear and cool. The beach next to Lakeside Cemetary was sandy and a nice place to soak up the sun. The girls from Livermore Falls always came down and flirted with us local boys, and teased us. The pond was a great place to cool down after a day of playing baseball or working at a local farm or henhouse.

My that brings back some pleasant memories.
Congratulations

Interesting approach
Looks like he talks the talk, is he willing to walk the walk?

I guess you had to be there to really appreciate the significance of my words. I don't apologize for the words, because they are and were true.
