The Good Old Days

Back to "The Good Old Days"

Taken during my last summer (1968) at Jacoby’s. I am seated to the right, with the white hat. The boy holding the basketball is wearing a skullcap and this would certainly coincide with the shift to Orthodox renters at that time. In the background is a boy whose parents’ owned the very small colony just down the road from Jacoby’s (?Abrams colony?). This is not Benny’s – a dairy farm / colony a bit further down the road. This picture is taken next to the handball court, in front of the old apple tree (which still stands) in front of the main house.
