Thank you once again for this article. Eugene Herndon, one of the boys in the article, is my late Brother. He spoke about his participation in this event but I had no idea it was covered in a newspaper.
Bruce – that is incredible. If you are willing to share, did he happen to mention any details that were left out of the article?
No, the article was accurate in what it described.
I remember Eugene Herndon, he was an altar boy. This article brought back many memories. I was raised; baptized by Father Paul and confirmed by Bishop Tsu, in St. Cyprian’s. My dad was the superintendent of the Sunday School for many years, and my mother was the organist and choir master.
( Eastwick swimming pool) Growing up in the Meadows / Eastwick 80th Buist ave. You would make a right into the Meadows follow the Dirt road to Darby Creek where the two creeks meet that was our swimming hole. Never new they had a swimming pool and a life guard… I live right off that same Dirt road, from 1948 until the redevelopment forced us to move out in the early Sixty’s.
