Pat, I amazed that you found this!  I don't know if we've ever met in person, but I instantly recognized your name through many stories told my Uncle Johnny and Nana.  I will make sure to tell them that you visited my cyber-home.  :-)  

You are so lucky to still live out there.  And you're right -- even though other areas seem to have changed dramatically over the decades, Bay View Oaks still feels a bit untouched.  

Thank you for reminiscing along with me.  I can't wait to tell my family that you were here!  I already called my mom, and Nana is next!  :-) 

Best,
Michelle
