No matter how far you move physically in life, you never completely leave the place where you grew up.
Having been born and raised in Norwich, I have many fond memories of the Rose City from my formative years. Many of those memories become more vivid when I’m able to re-connect with old friends and acquaintances on Facebook.
Social media isn’t for everyone, but reliving memories from our hometown and engaging with others who have lived and/or worked there is refreshing. It is a means for sharing information sometimes sad information like the recent passing of classmate and friend, Joe Barbera, a wonderfully friendly, happy, and popular guy, whom I met during our days together in the late 1960s at Kelly Junior High School.
