Thanks for taking the time to comment Dean. A lot of people remember my father’s column and his bookstore.

Wow – that brought back memories…I remember your dad Howard..as a kid we played a prank one time and changed the name of his article to “Howard Tedder’s Ransom Notes” and stuck it in his mailbox! I also remember the bookstore he ran. My paper route when I was 15 went through that neighborhood! Thanks for that article! LMAO!

I enjoyed reading your article. I lived on Compton Way and was looking on Google earth at the map of the area. I remember walking to the elementary school past the rubber plant you mentioned and the fire department. Every once in awhile we would go in and get a drink of water at their drinking fountain. We moved away in 1976 because my dad was transferred to Horseheads,NY. I didn’t remember about the rubber plant until i read this. I also remember going faithfully to the First Presbyterian Church every Sunday. I’m still in touch with my best friend from there. She lived down the street and still lives in the area. Does anyone know when the old Elementary School closed?
