Final Post

This is my last post on the Brevard blog because comments have dwindled to a trickle. This was intended as a forum where we shared our memories for others to read and enjoy. Without comments, it no longer works.

Thanks to the 3,606 of you who visited the blog during the past three months. I hope it brought back memories of the wonderful town where we grew up, the places we shopped and played, and the ways we passed our childhoods and teens. Who'll ever forget those Fourth of July picnics at Camp Straus or that all-consuming past time of cruising the drive-ins? The loop was the same but the scene was always different - different cars, different people. It was worth the fifty-cents of gas for an evening of checking out who was where!

A special thanks to those of you who shared their memories on the blog. It couldn't have continued without you. I've read the comments multiple times and enjoyed everyone of them. I'm amazed at your recall of places and events.

It's great to receive emails from so many of you. I've reconnected with old friends, become friends with people I didn't know well in school, and made new friends with those of you who went to different schools or are younger/older than I am. I want to stay in touch with you. Please continue exchanging emails!

The blog will remain online and available for reading and for leaving comments.

Go Blue Devils!

  1. Pat: Sorry to see the blog come to an end. It really helps the old gray cells to remember back to the 50's & 60's. Those were very special times. I kinda feel for those who will never know what it was like to be small town kid and to have good friends who were always there sharing everything. We may not of had all these modern electronics, but we had a chance to experience life at the basic level. I hope the blog will pick back up, but if not it was fun.

  2. Pat, I certainly hope this blog will "revive."
    I have loved it very much, and I just may keep posting as my memory reveals more and more of those wonderful years. I had a longer post placed here last night, and I was trying to correct something and lost it all. So, this post will have an addition as I remember what I said!

  3. Pat, I really have enjoyed reading this blog. I even found out things about some of my classmates I hadn't known before. LOL! It was a truly great idea, but I guess everyone in this day & time are so busy with their own lives that they haven't the time to enjoy reminiscing. Maybe another time it will return with more enthusiasm. Thanks so much for the beautiful memories! May God bless you each and all.

  4. I WILL ESPECIALLY MISS YOUR COMMENTS. PAT, ANYONE WHO KNOWS YOU WELL, SHOULD KNOW THAT YOUR MEMORY OF THE PAST IS AMAZING. YOU CAN RECALL ABOUT ANYTHING OF IMPORTANCE AS WELL AS TRIVAL INCIDENCES. SOME OF US ONLY WISH WE COULD. I AM PLEASED THAT THE BLOG WILL REMAIN ONLINE. WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA THAT WAS. HAPPY 2011.
