Last Sunday's Historical Society meeting was really fun. The five panelists enjoyed the question wheel that was projected to choose the category of questions with local businesses, school memories and local sports garnering the lion's share of the time. Panelist John Horgan noted that even he was learning a lot and Peter Cleaveland joked that the local scribe had collected enough tidbits for a years' worth of columns.
The memories of local drinking establishments drew out multiple memories from all of the panelists while memories of teachers, business proprietors and photos of buildings gave the audience plenty of opportunity to contribute.
The most amazing part was hearing from the gentleman who has lived next to the library for 90 years and used to caddy for Bing Crosby at the Burlingame Country Club. That was such a blast from the past I couldn't believe it.
