Alexander "Bud" Marechaux. Twas the night before New Year's, while mounting the hill,
the motor was roaring, but the car just stood still.
With 200 horses down under the hood,
with summer shoes, they did him no good.
When what to his wondering mind should occur,
he should have bought snow treads way long before.
His radio was blaring out sounds of revelling,
but alas poor Bud didn't feel like yelling.
Then he thought as he sat, if I had any brains,
I'd be rolling along on a stout pair of chains.
But soon came the morning, and to Bud's delight,
the salt trucks were coming, to make things all right.
Then off went the Olds as slick as a breeze,
and carried him home just as nice as you please.

This must have been about the Asian flu of 1957.

Uh, Jim Martin, Jay Hall, Iggy Matulonis, Lloyd Pelkey, and 2 others. Six in all. Hunting coon at night without a dog. When coon crossed the road, we got out and barked like a dog. Made sense back then.

Wake up, John, you just lost one, while sleeping at the lake.

Wikipedia Born: July 24, 1899, Delft, Netherlands. Died: August 19, 1991, Cavendish, VT

I am guessing it was a safety inspector gone wild... Does anybody remember any names?

Sid Smith is the current best guess

Burt "Junior" Balch cooking on a Cerro Machine.

John MacDonald, Clint Hall (48) or John Turco (24), the vote is still out. Those mowers were a pain in the arse. Clint Hall:

Is this Ronald Reagan? Ronald Reagan was a spokesman for GE and debuted as the only host of the program General Electric Theater. The show was broadcast every Sunday evening at 9:00 pm EST, beginning February 1 1953, and ending June 3 1962. Over eight seasons, Reagan and Don Herbert, the creator crisscrossed the country and visited more than 130 GE labs and factories. Lots of possibilities for Eddie, no ideas on RRC, yet. Maybe find that newsletter.

Aarne Komulainen's folks (Konsta and Senja "Grandbacca") had a model A Ford and a Jeep. His mom said in her distinct Finnish accent, she liked the old Ford better than the Jeep.

Maybe Edward Kolenda. Edward was employed at Joy Manufacturing Co. in Claremont and General Electric in Ludlow and Rutland as an inspector for 32 years, where he was commended upon retirement for his loyalty.

James "Jimmy" and Marge Turco had twins Denise & Dennis

Robert John Anderson AKA Bob, Andy, or to nine of us, Daddy at 65 Pond Street, possibly owned earlier by Leo Pluta. The dog is Ginger, or was it Sandy?

On the left: Roland "Cy" MacIntyre, but I am not sure about Harvey. I found Harvey Hubbard, most likely. He would have been 27. Another possible is Milford Harvey or Harvey Parker.

Perry Bascom, Jim Turco, Rosalun Rhoades, or possibly Mary Stuart

No one knows. Maybe Paul Rogers? Email me if you do...

Leon "Rob" Robert Ritter was a bull shitter. Bob Merrill was the rabbit hunter. He and his wife, Betty, lived on Pond Street with their kids, George, Patty, and Dale.
