These are here to give you a taste of how we looked back around the time I knew Arthur.     To view the page with Arthur's picture, click here.
It's 1960-  I'm ready for the start of 2nd grade
How we dressed for school in 1962
With our fox terrier, Penny - 1962
Our place on Deep Lane-
a typical Levitt house
My classmates in
Cherrywood School - 1962

Some of the 
Deep Lane crowd

Growing up happens in a heartbeat.
One day you're in diapers; the next day you're gone.
But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul.
I remember a place... a town... a house like a lot of houses...
A yard like a lot of other yards...
On a street like a lot of other streets.
And the thing is... after all these years,
I still look back... with wonder.
(Kevin's voiceover from the final scene in the final episode of The Wonder Years.) 
Mom... The smartest
person I've ever known
Story behind the site
If you took a ride around Wantagh in 1961 these are some of the places you'd have seen
Cherrywood Shopping Center. Every kid from the D's came here, (including Arthur).
Daurenheim Nursery, on Jerusalem Ave., (right across the street from Cherrywood Center).
St. Frances de Chantal Church.  Arthur's memorial service was held here.
McMurphy's Shopping Center at Wantagh and Park Aves., (near the L.I.R.R. station).
Wantagh Theater on Jerusalem Ave.,  next to the D Section.
Carvel on Wantagh Ave.
The pictures above are low resolution, so the page loads up quickly.  If you'd like to examine one for more detail, such as the name of a store or make of an automobile, Email me, and I'll send you the same picture in high-res.
