Looking back again at some simple neighborhood kids’ fun from spring to summer to winter to fall …

Summer funnin’, they had themselves a blast. No matter the season, it’s all about lifelong bonds. Simple connections forged through some simple fun. A bunch of Fair Haven boys. A bag of Cheetos.

Back in the summer of ’65 …  the heat was on in Fair Haven, and some pint-sized bathing beauties were set to walk the walk, if the suit and the bathing cap fit. In the spirit of the season, call them little firecrackers. Celebrity neighborhood sparklers. Whatever the name, they were set for a good, simple backyard game. This one was easy — the suited up line-up. On cue, they struck the pose and gave a big “Cheese!”
