Growing Up in Elmwood
http://www.jdurling.com/elmwood/
Welcome to my memories of growing up in Elmwood in the 1950's and beyond. Being a blogger on the Elmwood blog made me get out our old pictures to see what I had. I thought I would share them with you. I hope that you enjoy them and that they bring back as many good memories of your youth as it has mine.
I need to thank my daughter Sarah for setting this up so that we can all enjoy the entries. Click on "continue reading" under each picture for a larger image.
