Fruit Inspection

Wowser! Check out those two bathing pre-teen bombshells. That’s Dorothy Hamill on the left and her sidekick, Pocahontas.

This picture was taken at “The Pit”, aka The Sheridan Rod and Gun Club. Where I grew up, this was the place to be during the hot summer months. Unless you were lucky enough to know somebody with a chlorinated pool. Which we obviously did not.

I hadn’t thought about “The Pit” in years until the other day when I was watching my kids and their friends swim in Papa’s pond behind the house. I can imagine that their memories will be similar to mine as they think back over these years when they’re adults. “Boy, that sure was fun when I was little, but you couldn’t pay me a million bucks to get me to stick my head in that water now!”
