In her news column entitled Valley Memories, Marion has the distinct privilege of sharing reminiscences of her childhood and early teen years (from the early 1950s through the late 1960s). Her column is often accompanied by old photos. The column is published on the last Saturday of each month in The Valley Times, an independent weekly publication whose offices are in Derby, Connecticut.
Author’s Notes
Valley Memories continues to give me great joy, both in the writing and in hearing from readers. I’ve heard from folks as far away as Arizona and Oklahoma who have read my column.
Do you recall Vonetes, Weatherby’s, Hubbell Shoe Store, The Capitol Theatre, Center Drive-in? How about milk deliveries to your home? Or doctors who made house calls?
Do you have a Valley Memory that you’d like to share? I would love to hear from you. Please email through this website. Who knows? Your memory may be the one that uncovers a long forgotten memory of my own. |
