Remember when

Flaptail when you mentioned MacReeds bait shop last night I almost fell out of my seat. When I was a kid my we had a place in Eastham down by First Encounter Beach. I used to wander through the woods in the area which the area mostly was, woods that is, and pick beach plums and take them to MaCreeds to sell them and buy fishing equipment before I left. He used to wholesale the beach plums out to people who would then make the jelly. If I filled up the shopping bag I'd make about seven bucks. That was in the late 50's earlry 60's. I used to bum around North Beach with my buddie and his father who had a place out there. I never caught any big bass but I saw many carried up the beach to waiting vehicles to make the trip to the Chatham Co-op.

Blurple is now a color in a box of crayola crayons.
