Find myself overwhelmed with emotion remembering Louis best right now in worn plaid flannel shirts unflappably working outside while we kids rampaged. Red Rover was always in the Sutros yard. The best chestnut tree(the Keils was next best)for gathering fireplace poppers. The giant canvas tent a treat to play in. "Barbie" Libby, the younger sister of my first best friend Cindy, evokes the intermingled spirit of the neighborhood. "Roger the Dodger"! Didn't know anyone else still fondly recalled that nickname. I knew each house and family, always welcomed. Anonymous May baskets, the 4th of July, burning leaves, gluttonous trick or treating. My first job was feeding Peppermint when the Sutros went away. I realize I'm talking more about myself than Louis, but my memories would not be possible without Louis and the other parents who created our Warren + Kingsbury St. world. |
