My story is not unique by any account.
Chances are, it's a lot like yours!
Kensington had many schools with many
schoolyards.
We had many different corners to hang on and almost each had a corner store.
We had many churches
with many different religions.
I hope some of my memories help stir up some of yours!
That is what this book is all about.
This is what
I remember. Maybe our stories crossed paths somewhere? If you grew up in the Kensington area, there's a good chance they did. Maybe
we met at the Midway Theater, a Kensington Ramblers game or a church dance. Possibly we even had a fistfight in a schoolyard
or checked out the same girl as she walked down Kensington Ave.
