remember when
 

you had to turn down Smith neck rd to head down nauset[north]beach.the telegraph poles and wires. the station on pochet hill. Howard Rose landing his plane on the beach when he bought old harbor station.the Eldea coming ashore.Old Harbor station being moved by barge to ptown.going to the beach before stickers.People fishing had hand lines or conventional reels and ashaway line.mayo,s duck farm and the red fox fan club outside the fence.Everybody waved to everybody because you never knew when you would need a hand.4wheel drive was new.BOY AMI OLD.

wow.. now it says "No Beach Access"
Ardath and little Joe feeding the Eldia crew.. Glenn Svenningsen building and driving the "raft" that moved the station.. people leaving their buggys in the field, and the barns near the duck farm, and then after that...over behind Bill Sunocos house on Rt. 39.. not only no stickers, but no liscence plates on a lot of the buggys.. the chicken and turkey pies at the duck farm... duck eggs.. people Smiling and Waving, even if they didn;t know you.. everybody helping everybody else... lot of us say that 4 wheel drive ruined the beach... Charlie Darling and Robley Fulchers camp.. the "Duck Inn".. just below the station on Pochet hill.. their outhouse with the two views.. Ocean, and Bay...

Old Goat..If I don;t know you, we musta waved at each other :wave: at some point. Thanks for the memories...

BASS WERE "MEASURED IN POUNDS" NOT INCHES!!!:hs:

yep.. i still get excited and think pounds when somebody says to me, "I got a 36 last night!"... and then find out they meant inches... it is an "age" thing, from what i see

How could we forget the mayor--BUB SEARS--and his vw bug beach car

lived on 39 across from Sweetsters auto body.. so.. Old Goat :D.. what did Bub love more.. clammin', or beer drinkin'? :D... "Hey Joe".. (I think he called everybody Joe)... i will say this.. he knew every steamer out there on a first name basis! And bad back or not, could fill a basket faster than anybody i ever saw!
He was some good tinkering with them vdubs too...

just found this thread again
 

karl f If Bub was alive he would be the first one down the beach to check on his and Baldies camp I remember when he was about 80 standing down in front of his camp arguing where we were going to have a can of beans for supper. We argued from about 5 till 10 pm before we ever eat the dam beans. He was always at a clambake and could open steams for firing like nobodies business.What was the name of that clubsomeone started?? The Buda club Joe???Or was it the Bub Buda club joe??? Some stupid thing to get him cranked up.Well i have to give my brain a rest.

On Sunday if it wasn't blacked out I'd watch the Boston Patriots ...

The World Series was so big the schools would let you listen to the game
in class on the radio during the afternoon.

That was BLF. (before lighted fields) :)

Remember when you could watch family shows, including sporting events like the world series,, without having commerials about erections. :(

Baby carriages had those big wheel, and canopy's
Four quarts of milk for a buck
Beer cans needed an opener
Sneakers didn't have to cost an arm and a leg

[QUOTE=Squid kids Dad;523528]The USS Longstreet was still in CCB..

It's still there, just 3 feet under. My brother ran into it, looking for it this past summer. Put a nice gash in the gel coat. :jump:
Don't go looking for the "target ship", it's a "restricted area":devil2:
