My husband grew up in Dorchester, MA, and has remained close with his childhood friends over 55+ years. We've had a party for the "Guys" and their gals, just after Labor Day, for the past several years. The theme for 2001 was "Dorchester". We always give out goodie bags and last year's main item was Anthony Mitchell Sammarco's book "Images of America - Dorchester". Our son had given my husband that book on his birthday the year before and he really loved it. I can't tell you how pleased our friends were when they received the same book in their gift bag. They sat around looking through them and reminiscing about places they used to know like the stores, homes, schools, churches and parks. We even had a quiz on the old neighborhood awarding prizes to the top three winners. Next month my high school, Roslindale High School, is holding their 45th reunion. For the door prize we are giving a copy of Anthony's book "Images of America - "Roslindale", which I am anxious to see myself. Hopefully, it will arrive on time. There are many books in the Images of America series of cities and towns all over our country. I'm thrilled the towns where my husband and I grew up were chosen as "Image" worthy. Well done Mr. Sammarco and thank you!
