It was the winter of 1973. We were living in a two bedroom apartment. Kristen was about 5 months old. In the apartment below us lived a couple of Springfield Kings hockey players. When they would win a game they would really party, loudly, late into the night. After one sleepless night I remember Paul getting up in the morning and saying that he thought we should buy a house.
40 years ago today, Friday, April 13, 1973, we signed papers on our house and moved in that weekend...and we have been here ever since.
This was our house in August, 1973.
In 1981 we added a second floor to our house.
Our house last September, 2012.

I have loved living here. Our neighborhood was a wonderful place to raise children. There were 26 houses on a circle. Most of us were young couples with children.
Now it is a great neighborhood to have our kids and grandkids visit. Many happy memories here. Here's to many more!
