There Goes the Neighborhood

Suburban New Jersey in the 1970s.

Kids and adults remember different things, that’s for sure. Recently my mother asked, “Remember Floyd Kadondik (or some other local yahoo from New Jersey that I hadn’t thought about in more than 30 years)?”

“No I don’t, why?”

To which my mother zinged me with, “Oh, I was speaking with Freida Schwartzsteiner and we were wondering what happened to Floyd. You two used to be such good friends!”
