Born in 1946,I was raised in Riverside. Grew up over looking Fairmont Park. The attraction for me was reading about some of the places that Gary knew and wrote about that I also hungout at in my youth. Brought back memories of playing in the river bottom, Fairmont Park and Mt. Ru bidoux. Also places like Gay and Larry's and Sages. All good memories of my youth. It was a great place to grow up.
