The first five years of my life were spent in a three story triplex in Roxbury, Massachusetts, a predominately black area of Boston. Although we lived close to Franklin Park, most of my world consisted of city streets, vacant lots and a blacktop school ground in our neighborhood. Then one day, I recall packing up the car and saying goodbye to my cousins who lived on the third floor, and my brother and I went for a very long drive (35 miles) with my parents to our new home in the country. I still remember when we arrived and got out of the car, slightly panic strickened. There was a house directly across the street and that was the only neighbor’s house you could see!
There was a lot of land to explore for two young boys and it included a cart path that went down into the woods and connected to a farmer’s cow pasture and eventually led to the Town River. We learned about electric fences, milking cows, baling hay, fishing, driving tractors and planting gardens on the Foye’s Farm. -
