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. :-) Eisboch |

Peter was a sometime friend of mine, two years younger, though, and he was graduated from Amity. Might have been your classmate. How about Susie Somers, the long-haired brunette? She was in a lot of school plays. Again, she might have been a contemporary of yours. I dated her older sister, Margie. Did you ever visit the Nature Center up on West Rock? |

With full recognition to certain NG "lurkers", I refuse to answer. Actually, I admit I have many hours logged at West Rock. I think I remember Somers ... not sure. I went to Amity High for 2 and a half years, leaving half way through my senior year to move back to MA. I think that was in 1967 or 1968, I can't remember. Eisboch |
