Grinnell Remembered

My memories of this dear old town will always be with me, until day I die. Small town life will do that to you. This little town rests in the great State of Iowa, where I spent the first 34 years of my life. My dear dog Shep and I shared a lot of beautiful memories in this wonderful place. My poems of my Grandma took place here. Going to double feature movies, were seen at the Strand and Iowa theaters. Boy hood chums and I had our summers there, with Shep tagging along on our bike rides to the country side and beyound. Spending a lot of time at the Rexall Drug at the soda fountain reading my comic books by the hour. Sunday afternoons were special, as sister and I would go up town to get a six pack of bottle Pepsi and a romance magzine for her and a comic or two for me. Many family members are buried there at Hazelwood Cemetery, someday I'm going back either to live there or be buried in the old cemetery with my family and friends to keep me company, so many precious and tear filled memories and so many happy days of joy, so Grinnell am still loving you, and will be back someday, so until then farewell my friend. written 5-12-11 Lived there from 1952-1956
