Back to Martins FerryBy Don Iannone
with Dan Shimp
It's good to remember
who we are.
It's good to return
as best we can
to places in time
that are now
but mere memories.
It's good to walk
the streets we walked
when much younger.
It's good to talk
with friends we played
when much younger.
It's good to return
to the place you came
with a friend
you never really left behind.

Kathy,
Interestingly, Anonymous Dharma Dan found the same thing about his old house on Third Street in Martins Ferry: It was gone. He can tell you more.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Don
Yep. The house was gone, replaced by a metal garage.
Train bridge gone, just torn down a month ago.
Trees at the park were being cut down as Don and I watched...
Not to mention all the changes that have taken place in the nearly half-century since we left...
Dan,
And look how WE have changed in so many ways, and yet we are who we have always been. I am that, and you are that. Wonderful adventure with you Dan!
And with you, Brother Don!
Thansk Dan.
