The Richardson Girls," Mary Brann and Helen Nezda, will present the Tuesday, August 10th
program entitled "AND TO THINK THAT IT HAPPENED ON COTTAGE STREET!"  It's all
about memories of the summers they spent during the middle of the last century at the family
summer home on Cottage Street.  They and many others recall with pleasure their youthful
summer days in this charmed place and have shared their memories for this occasion which
promises to be a veritable smorgasboard to be enjoyed by all.

Growing up on Cottage Street is a "Sentimental Journey."  Raising the wharf flag mornings and
taking it down at sunset, waving Hi to strangers who answered back to these friendly little kids
they didn't even know, and the excitement of "going up town."  The boathouse became their
foul weather playhouse, fishing off the town wharf with a "fishpole" of wood with string and a
hook baited with a clam.  Once they came home with an actual fish - a 200 lb. halibut!  
"Hurricane Carol left us marooned in candlelight."  And there was a seaplane, a watery
wedding party, and even an alligator!

To hear more of these stories join us at 7:00 pm in Curtis Hall on Church Street as we joyously
recall these memories.
