From the time I was about 8 years old and through my late teens, there was one place that was central in my life experience, and that was "up at the river" at my maternal grandparents house and property. This is a story not only about those times but also how historical events along that river made this experience even possible. It is also a story of the changes in the landscape since that time, and what I experienced lives in photographs, and, in the absence of photos, in my memory.
The full experience of this story is best with the accompanying slide presentations; one entirely using family photos, and the other using newspaper clippings, aerial photographs, maps, plans, government reports, postcards, and webpages. The full experience is also best on a computer or laptop screen rather than on a phone screen.
Each link below opens a PDF, the first one is the story in text, and the other two are PowerPoint Slideshows.
