Growing up in Medford in the 1950s
For the first twenty-one years of my life (1939 to 1960) Medford, Massachusetts, located about 6 miles north of Downtown Boston, was my home. One of my longtime regrets is that I didn’t know very much about my mother and father’s upbringing. It was because I either didn’t ask them, or if they told me, I didn’t listen. I don't want to repeat the same mistake with my children. So I decided to write about the “olden days” when I was a young boy growing up in Medford. I made the piece personal because my expectations are that only my children, grandchildren, or a few close, old friends will ever be interested in reading the material.
