B.T. Myers

Here are some pictures from Nanci Myers and an email:

Hi Carl, me again. Did you ever come up to our back yard after a big snow storm when Dad would have Ginger MacKay pile all the snow up to make a big hill so we could slide down?
I remember just about every kid
from Beasley Ave. would be there. They would stay right after dark too. We had big lights that lit up the whole yard and Mom would say
"Barney,
Put the lights out so they will go home."
They were always scared
someone would get hurt and you had to quit sometime.
I never thought of
that until today
