What's up, Doc?
It makes me very happy that one reflection would lead to another. Thank you for sharing your memories from that time.
As usual, your choice of highlights gets the idea across without revealing too much or giving anything away. You draw us in just enough to want to go there. I was touched by the anecdote in the final paragraph.
Robert, I so enjoy reading about what you read. This particular commentary about Steinbeck's
Cannery Row, as I lived on the Monterrey Peninsula in the early fifties as a 20-year old Army
wife living in the Barracks at Fort Ord. Fisherman's Wharf, Carmel, The 17-mile drive, Salinas
with all the lettuce farms and Pacific Grove, watching the waves crash on the rock shore as I
sat with my Boxer dog, were some of the nostalgic memories your comments brought to mind.
Had no idea there were these "Rowdies" living out colorful chapters so close by. Thank you.
