PJ made me really hungry when he mentioned Maid-Rite sandwiches in Canton! Does anyone remember Katie & Torie Petrovich and their little grocery store at the north end of town? There was always a small bag of penny candy given to the young children who visited there. Although Katie & Torie had no children, their house was always filled with young people doing their homework in the kitchen, or when weather permitted, on the front porch. There was a place in their grocery store for the school pictures of all "their kids". There are no grocery stores like that anymore. The A&W and the Dog n Suds Ice skating on the tennis courts the roller-skating rink Sebree & Senn-Soldwedel Dairies The old Parlin Library Driving 'round and 'round the square Princess & Garden Theatres Kresge's & Newberry's dime stores Southern Bar-B-Que...I remember when I was finally old enough to be allowed to go there after ballgames. Life-lesson learned there: Mrs. Roberts, my 7th grade English teacher, taught me a lesson I'll never forget. She said knowing all the answers wasn't required of anyone. The important part of being educated was to learn where to find the answers. Miss Coty, my sophomore English teacher forced me to lose my fear of speaking in front of others by making me stand by my desk to respond to questions. She also made us memorize 2 speeches from "Julius Ceasar" and deliver them from the podium in the auditorium. Both lessons have served me well! Although I grew up in Canton, my ancestors are not from there. My Fulton Co. roots are from the Astoria-Vermont area. LouAnn
