Marge's Memoir

"IF You really want to hear about" my history of the 6 decades of changes in 'my Village' "you'll probably want to know where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like....and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it if you want to know the truth." In the first place that stuff bores me, and in the second places, my parents" long since in their graves in Mt Pleasant Cemetery overlooking the bowling alley in Hartville, Ohio - "would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything very personal about them . They were quite touchy about anything like that and would not appreciate it ...Besides, I am not going to tell you my whole goddamn autobiography or something. I am just going to tell you about this stuff that happened to me" starting in the fall of 1957.
