Default Back to work

Damn...you worked at Les Shaw's!
I seem to remember it was located on Whalley Avenue, near the Pond Lily
manufacturing plant. What I mostly remember about that particular area
was the Feast of the Assumption the Italian Catholic churches held each
year at the foot of the Merritt Parkway where it crossed Whalley.

Just a little way from there, as you went towards West Rock and the
tunnel, a longtime friend of my father's owned a truck farm, of all

things.

Hey...I remember two farms in your neck of New Haven...Zeider's Egg Farm
and a turkey farm whose name I can't remember. I do remember Zeider's,
because I dated the farmer's daughter, Gail Zeider, for a while. She
went to Amity Regional... Hmmm. I dated a lot of girls from Amity. Nice
girls.



My memory is hazy, but I think Les Shaw's was just south of the beginning of
the West Rock tunnel. Yup. I walked around with a big, stupid chef's hat,
carrying a basket of "Popovers".

I also remember Zeiders, but Gail was *way* too old for me. :-)
