Friendly House on Wall street..

[darrel_prescott]

I grew up on Wall street and then Suffolk street. When I was a very young boy my grandfather and a lot of the men of the community "including some of us boys" helped to build the new Friendly House community center, It was just up the road from the corner of Wall street and Suffolk street, where "Clems store" and the "Cafe Espresso" used to be.

I just about grew up in that building. To this day I still remember most of the staff, Jim DUffy, Connie Billadeau, Mr Gordon, a guy in a wheelchair named "Michael Jackson", a lady named Debera, and some others. My first summer job  was as a Volunteer counselor there.

If anyone can get Any information on this I would be soooo appreciative. It was such a huge part of my childhood. Please feel free to e-mail me at any of the following e-mail addy's :
