How about Riceland?? I remember when my brother and cousin Wade use to play

golf at Riceland before we got into high school.? Is Riceland still there and did anyone else play there?? Also I vaguely remember a high school bowling team, or am I halucinating?

Hi Everybody: ? Linda Fahrney/Freeland here!? I want to repsond to this memory about the party where a bunch of us played "Post Office."? Mentioned by both Pat and Lanny and here's Lanny's comments about it below... ? ========= I remember we had get togethers at a large two story house on Main east side of Dalton, north side, and I think it was the Bodager or Meisner home.? I'm not sure how many times we played that goofy game I only know there were several of us there.

(would be interesting if everybody would reveal if they were there or not).? And yes, we played "Post Office" and must have been the first time for that game for me!? Cause I've never forgot it.? That's the memory I have when I drive by Connie's house even today. I want to confirm Pat's stories about a lot of girls doing and learning to do acrobats in the old school house in the basement girl's bathroom.? I remember doing that too!? I know one time I did a flip with no hands and don't how I did that to this day.? It's a wonder we didn't crack our heads on the cement floor and kill ourselves.? Pat says we used a big rubber cushioned pad.? I don't remember that - but maybe so.? I remember that Karen, Connie, and Nancy W. were the best and were featured later on in some kind of a talent show (or maybe a side act to one of our operettas that we had. By the way everybody, I got a call about two weeks ago on a Sat. morning and it was Karen Eckard Baer.? We had a good visit on the phone and I told her about all the Yahoo group and how much fun it was.? She said to say "Hi" to everybody.? I asked her if she was not on line and she informed me that she was not a computer person.? I usually see Karen or at least talk to her when I go home as she was my childhood friend (both her and Jeff Eckard) as we just lived across the field from their houses and we did some serious playing as young children.? She is well and has a wonderful family and grandchildren that her and Mike visit often.? She retired a couple of years ago from her beauty salon that she had in her house. Speaking of operetta's - does anybody remember one we did when we were about 9 or 10 years old?? I don't remember what grade that would have been.? I had a pretty big part in it and I was a "Teakettle."? Gwen, I remember you were in this one and was either a broom or a "Teapot."? I had to sing a song and it started out "A teakettle's life is a merry one (and then I forgot the words) and just sang? La, la, la, la, la, la, the rest of the song!? I know the song of "I'm a Little Teapot- short and stout" was also sang.? Don't remember any of the boy's parts.?

I remember a skating pond that was out in the country, a little northwest of Kidron.? It was just north of a crossroads that was one or two roads west of the Kidron road.? From what I can see on Google maps, it was either at what is now Hackett Road and South Kansas Road, or at Hackett Road and South Kohler Road.? I don't remember the name of the property.

?

On Google Satellite, you can see a pond near Hackett Road and South Kohler Road.

Do you mean ice skating at Camp Luz?? That was the best place for skating.? I remember calling Cheynne to see if she was going and usually there were others from school and church.? Saturdays and Sundays were the best times because there were more people to see.? From our kitchen window, we could see people skating (we lived on the top of the first hill on?Kidron Road just after turning off from Rt 30.? Since my ice skating days, another lake on the other side of the Nickle Plate railway has been built.? It's Lake Harmony and it has a Dalton address.? Both are man made lakes.? I never got to go ice skating in a rink - having a natural outside facility in my back yard.? Of course, we didn't have luxury of?organ music, live or canned.!? I'm glad you have fun memories of organ music.? Many people hear it and think - who died?

Hi John & Class of 59 - HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Just a quick reply before I dash out to meet my daugheters, son-in-law for lunch and some fun!

?

John, the pond I had to crawl back to the edge of the field, was down south of my Grandma Smith's - do you remember where Dick Simpson lived and some of the Blossers.

?

But to the pond where you had your ice skating tragedy - YES, there was a pond off of 30 and kind of to the back where we lived.? Don't know who lived there, but they let anybody use it to skate on.? Come to think of it.? I don't think there was a house built there when we first started skating there, but later there was.? I used to go there and skate in the winter when they let us out of classes - during final test times (when we only had to show up for school when we had a final scheduled).? I'm sure Addie and other Kidronites remember the wonderful place they had to skate in Kidron.? I went there a few times and it was fabulous!

?

Organ music at Skate rink.? I kind of remember a little glass box where maybe a man sat in and played the organ from there.? But wherever that glorious music came from, I was in the heighth of glory to skate across the floor to it!? It was combining the two loves of my life- music and dancing!? I remember the little practice rink too - I'm sorry you hardly ever made it out of there!? Ha!

?

As Jimmy Durante said, "Thanks for the memories!"

Was that frozen pond kind of in back of your house across new US 30?
I think that was the pond where I had my skating disaster. I don't
remember where Rudy Road was.

I thought of the Skateland name too, but thought that name was too
obvious of a name for a roller skating rink. Thanks for solving the
puzzle. Was there a real organ there or was it a recording? Live or
Memorex? I don't know the difference. All those organ songs sound
kind of the same to me. I do remember the song "The Happy Organ" by
Dave "Baby" Cortez (I think that was who it was). I don't know if I
ever got onto the big rink or was stuck in the retard area with the
rail you could hang onto. I wasn't exactly a speed demon. But I
tried. Life was fun. Falling down was not.

Wasn't it called "Skateland." I used to love to go over there. It
was so exciting to me. I even took a few roller skating dance
lessons there for a short time. I loved the organ music and when I
hear beautiful organ music today, I think of the roller rink. Yes, I
remember the cheesy skates and thought about them the other day!

ice skates from back in the 1920's and put them on with weak ankles
as well. I was skating in the overflooded field below my Grandma
Smith's house (near 30 and Rudy Rd) and I got out in the middle of
the pond and the leather all tore on those skates as it was rotten
and I had to crawl back to land. I remember saving up my money to
buy some beatiful white ice skates from the Sears and Roebuck catalog
and I had them up until a few years ago and sold them at a garage
sale. I had roller rink skates too.

? ? ? -------Original Message------- ? From: jhdouglas59 Date: 7/3/2008 8:39:13 PM To: dalton59@... Subject: [dalton59] Meyers Lake ? Does anyone remember Meyers Lake Amusement Park in Canton? I think it is long gone. I remember the wooden roller coaster--scared me to death. Also the fun house with its crazy mirrors and floors. I think there was a haunted house and some kind of rickety ride thru a tunnel with strange sounds and spooky things. Then there was the photo booth where you could take pictures and get them immediately--absolutely amazing at the time. Their carousel was famous, too as I recall. I think it ended up at a museum in New England somewhere. And the bumper cars were amazing. That was fun, because you could pick out some spastic old man and try to gang up on him and batter his car until it was wedged against the wall so that he couldn't move. The highlight was to smash into him headon and watch the look on his face. Now that I'm the old man, I don't think I will venture into bumper cars anymore. But it was good clean fun at the time when you were just a lad. There was also a ferris wheel that alway seemed to get stuck when you were at the top of the ride. In the arcade was skee-ball which was always fun, even though we never won very much. Then you could go ride on a spinning ride (and get nauseous) and a rocket ride of some kind. How about all those carnies? They always looked the same every year and they probably still do. Ageless. Cedar Point was a lot nicer place to visit (and still is), but Meyers Lake was a lot closer to us and also cheap. I would like to see what is there now at Meyers Lake--probably just homes. What were your favorite things to do at Meyers Lake Amusement Park? The Weaselmeister ?

Hi John & Class of 59 - HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Just a quick reply before I dash out to meet my daugheters, son-in-law for lunch and some fun!

?

John, the pond I had to crawl back to the edge of the field, was down south of my Grandma Smith's - do you remember where Dick Simpson lived and some of the Blossers.

?

But to the pond where you had your ice skating tragedy - YES, there was a pond off of 30 and kind of to the back where we lived.? Don't know who lived there, but they let anybody use it to skate on.? Come to think of it.? I don't think there was a house built there when we first started skating there, but later there was.? I used to go there and skate in the winter when they let us out of classes - during final test times (when we only had to show up for school when we had a final scheduled).? I'm sure Addie and other Kidronites remember the wonderful place they had to skate in Kidron.? I went there a few times and it was fabulous!

?

Organ music at Skate rink.? I kind of remember a little glass box where maybe a man sat in and played the organ from there.? But wherever that glorious music came from, I was in the heighth of glory to skate across the floor to it!? It was combining the two loves of my life- music and dancing!? I remember the little practice rink too - I'm sorry you hardly ever made it out of there!? Ha!

?

As Jimmy Durante said, "Thanks for the memories!"

Was that frozen pond kind of in back of your house across new US 30?
I think that was the pond where I had my skating disaster. I don't
remember where Rudy Road was.

I thought of the Skateland name too, but thought that name was too
obvious of a name for a roller skating rink. Thanks for solving the
puzzle. Was there a real organ there or was it a recording? Live or
Memorex? I don't know the difference. All those organ songs sound
kind of the same to me. I do remember the song "The Happy Organ" by
Dave "Baby" Cortez (I think that was who it was). I don't know if I
ever got onto the big rink or was stuck in the retard area with the
rail you could hang onto. I wasn't exactly a speed demon. But I
tried. Life was fun. Falling down was not.

Memories forever

Wasn't it called "Skateland." I used to love to go over there. It
was so exciting to me. I even took a few roller skating dance
lessons there for a short time. I loved the organ music and when I
hear beautiful organ music today, I think of the roller rink. Yes, I
remember the cheesy skates and thought about them the other day!

> My first attempt at ice skating was I had my Mom's old leather
ice skates from back in the 1920's and put them on with weak ankles
as well. I was skating in the overflooded field below my Grandma
Smith's house (near 30 and Rudy Rd) and I got out in the middle of
the pond and the leather all tore on those skates as it was rotten
and I had to crawl back to land. I remember saving up my money to
buy some beatiful white ice skates from the Sears and Roebuck catalog
and I had them up until a few years ago and sold them at a garage
sale. I had roller rink skates too.

Hi John & Class of 59 - HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Just a quick reply before I dash out to meet my daugheters, son-in-law for lunch and some fun!

?

John, the pond I had to crawl back to the edge of the field, was down south of my Grandma Smith's - do you remember where Dick Simpson lived and some of the Blossers.

?

But to the pond where you had your ice skating tragedy - YES, there was a pond off of 30 and kind of to the back where we lived.? Don't know who lived there, but they let anybody use it to skate on.? Come to think of it.? I don't think there was a house built there when we first started skating there, but later there was.? I used to go there and skate in the winter when they let us out of classes - during final test times (when we only had to show up for school when we had a final scheduled).? I'm sure Addie and other Kidronites remember the wonderful place they had to skate in Kidron.? I went there a few times and it was fabulous!

?

Organ music at Skate rink.? I kind of remember a little glass box where maybe a man sat in and played the organ from there.? But wherever that glorious music came from, I was in the heighth of glory to skate across the floor to it!? It was combining the two loves of my life- music and dancing!? I remember the little practice rink too - I'm sorry you hardly ever made it out of there!? Ha!

?

As Jimmy Durante said, "Thanks for the memories!"

I think that was the pond where I had my skating disaster. I don't

I thought of the Skateland name too, but thought that name was too
obvious of a name for a roller skating rink. Thanks for solving the
puzzle. Was there a real organ there or was it a recording? Live or
Memorex? I don't know the difference. All those organ songs sound
kind of the same to me. I do remember the song "The Happy Organ" by
Dave "Baby" Cortez (I think that was who it was). I don't know if I
ever got onto the big rink or was stuck in the retard area with the
rail you could hang onto. I wasn't exactly a speed demon. But I
tried. Life was fun. Falling down was not.

Wasn't it called "Skateland." I used to love to go over there. It
was so exciting to me. I even took a few roller skating dance
lessons there for a short time. I loved the organ music and when I
hear beautiful organ music today, I think of the roller rink. Yes, I
remember the cheesy skates and thought about them the other day!

the pond and the leather all tore on those skates as it was rotten
and I had to crawl back to land. I remember saving up my money to
buy some beatiful white ice skates from the Sears and Roebuck catalog
and I had them up until a few years ago and sold them at a garage
sale. I had roller rink skates too.

Linda:

Was that frozen pond kind of in back of your house across new US 30?
I think that was the pond where I had my skating disaster. I don't
remember where Rudy Road was.

I thought of the Skateland name too, but thought that name was too
obvious of a name for a roller skating rink. Thanks for solving the
puzzle. Was there a real organ there or was it a recording? Live or
Memorex? I don't know the difference. All those organ songs sound
kind of the same to me. I do remember the song "The Happy Organ" by
Dave "Baby" Cortez (I think that was who it was). I don't know if I
ever got onto the big rink or was stuck in the retard area with the
rail you could hang onto. I wasn't exactly a speed demon. But I
tried. Life was fun. Falling down was not.

and I had them up until a few years ago and sold them at a garage
sale. I had roller rink skates too.

Subject: [dalton59] Re: John's Writing

Linda/Chuck:

I'm not exactly a writer. I'm probably the class curmudgeon. We all
need a few laughs to keep us (relatively) young.

I did enjoy John J Jogan Jr (remember the 4 JJJJ's) and his classes.
Is he the one who used the Plain English Handbook? I still have that
book with all the grammar stuff in it. I don't think I use the
proper punctuation anymore. But some of the rules stay with you.
Maybe it was Miss Campbell who used that Plain English Handbook. I
remember she also taught Latin. Now there's a useful course you use
everyday. She did throw one mean toga party though in the high
school cafeteria, as I recall.

Does anyone remember going to Pittsburgh for some kind of tour? Was
the Latin class involved in that trip? Just a flashback. All I
remember is that I heard "Come Go With Me" by the Dell Vikings on the
radio in the car on the way to/from Pittsburgh. Was it the Carnegie
Art Center or Museum or something like that? Maybe it was the Mellon
National Bank. Amo, Amas, Amat. Common Latin conjugation or
something like that. Tua sed magna est.

I imagine they teach Spanish these days.
