[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Eriediamond emeraldisle, I was born in Silver Creek, NY and raised on a dairy farm not far from there in South Dayton, NY. My parents took me on vacation to the Adirondaks (White Face Mtn) when I was about 3years old (1945), a couple of years before my mother passed away. That trip was was a sad one for me as I lost my long time companion Junior (my Teddy bear). I have photos of that trip and still to this day wish I lived in that area. One ambition of mine is to pack up the Harley and spend a few weeks there in a couple of years after I retire. I live in the hills of western NC now. Oh, there was a bright side to our vacation. When we returned home a neatly wrapped brown paper package awaited me. One of the motels found Junior and mailed him back to me. By the way, who made the coffee this mornin, ----------- it's great. The Erie RR may be long gone but still rolls on at my house. Thanks, Ken [/quote] Well actually, I made it this morning, didn't take any real great pains with it, just made as usual, but thanks. My folks and I were Air Force and moved to Plattsburgh in 1958 from California. What a differance. I thought it was the best place in the world for a kid to grow up and still do. Winters can be a bit brutal until you get accustomed to them but after the first 1 or 2 years, no problem. If I could, I would retire there, but my wife and family are native Floridians. I think you get my drift. Anyway it's good to know that someone else on here comes from that region. Hope your feeling better.
