I do wish to take this time to say thank you for remembering me and especially Lois Walsh. My life in Saugus was nothing to write home but after people like yourselfs writeing in and shareing your old times you had in Saugus brought back some of mine. How can any one not remember the slop shop, the rat hole, the State, but the best winter sport of all was ice bucking. To see who could float down the Saugus River one an ice cake to reach the East Saugus bridge was something to behold. I use to think I was salty by putting a pack of Lucky Strikes rolled up in my shirt sleves and as I return to Saugus I look at the Honor Role that was just in front of the old Saugus High, I see the boys that did not come home, they were the salty ones. I gave Uncle Sam 35 years and the last 22 years I try to help those who have trouble with drugs and alcohol, been there done that and thank you again for thinking of me, pay is not too bad today.
