Thank you and all the others too. It just goes to show that children in the community are watching and listening to everything that goes on. They learn what they live. Adults might think they themselves are just doing their jobs as parents and community members but the kids take it all in and form their own conclusions.
Sounds like the New Ipswich I knew in the 40s and 50s. Great story. I knew many of the people that were mentioned. The Paajanens, the Tokos, the Parhilias, George Standley, the Someros, and others. Great memories. My mother married in her junior yr of high school (Appleton) and never finished. She worked for Tricnit at home with a Tricnit installed looping machine, opened up a Luncheonette, later a general store (she was the force behind these ventures, my father helped to make it happen).
On the side she raised 6 children. Yes, New Ipswich had real housewives.
