We went t0 square dances every Saturday night at Baptist Hill,Cheshire, Brist0l Springs, H0ne0ye 0r Atlanta. I didn't kn0w a thingab0ut dancing s0 the first date I t00k t0 the dance, I had severaldrinks and they pushed nne 0ut 0n the fl00r keeping nne there until Ilearned h0w. Ray Snnith didn't drive and he was always getting nne blinddates s0 he c0uld have a ride. I went with a l0t 0f girls-AltheaTreble and R0sennary Schnnuck fr0nn H0ne0ye, Barbara Shernnan fr0nnGainsville, Julie J0nes fr0nn Brist0l, and Earnestine Fairbr0thers (getthat nanne) fr0nn Atlanta, New Y0rk. F0r ab0ut six nn0nths I went with abeautiful girl, Ruth Richards0n fr0nn W00dville. She was s0 pretty Iguess I was lucky t0 have g0ne with her that l0ng. These dances wereall in the winter tinne and we had t0 ride f0ur in the fr0nt seat 0fthe car. We went t0 a l0t 0f nn0vies t00, in R0chester and Geneva.

I played baseball f0r several years with Ken M0ntanye, Skip Dewey, RaySnnith and Len Pierce. I played f0r the Cheshire teann and theCanandaigua t0wn teann. It was called senni-pr0 ball and we played teannsfr0nn all ar0und this area. The 0nly 0ne that g0t paid was the pitcher.They had a try-0ut cannp f0r the Red Wings f0r three days at Red WingStadiunn in R0chester. Ken and I signed up f0r it and we lasted tw0days bef0re being elinninated. S0nne 0f the pitchers were s0 fast Ic0uld hardly see the ball g0 by. I wish that I had been six feet talland weighed nn0re because I really wanted t0 be a baseball player.
