Some of you might be wondering why this forum is named what it is ... Out by the Corner Mailbox.

Well, back in the 50's & early 60's, some of us used to hang out near there ... right by that blue mailbox up in the upper left-corner of this board ... at the confluence of Essex, Franklin, and Amherst Streets, Roads, Avenues ... We used to play ball there, right in the street. Then, as the 60's progressed, more started hangin' on the corner there ... still played ball, but different kinds sometimes ... and other things ... fights ... you name it! ... oh, if mailboxes could talk! Eventually, into the 70's, the torch was passed to a new contingent ... The mailbox, however, was eventually removed ... too much graffiti!!

So, that's the "origins" of this board, but it by no means is meant to be restricted to that bunch out there ... me & Doc & Bean & MaKow & Skinny Vinny & Dink & Doof & Foch & all our younger brothers & BabyFats & Jane & Benny & Peggy ... the beat goes on ... but rather to all who grew up in Valley Stream during those tumultuous days that we so fondly think back on.

Feel free to just jump on in and be a part of it. It's yours to use as you see fit. Tell your friends. I really look forward to re-meeting a whole slew of folks I've long since lost contact with. You probably are, too!

In some of my posts, I tried to demonstrate some of the features of this forum ... there's a lot you can do here with it, so explore and use it! There are polls, photo albums, private messages, text formatting ... so much more. Read the FAQs & the Posting Tips [links to these are found up in the upper right-hand corner of this board] to get familiar with how it functions. E-mail me anytime if you encounter trouble. I'll be happy to assist! richfed@mohicanpress.com

See you on the corner ... by the mailbox ...

Thanks, Rick!! Yes, prayer does wonderous things. She was a-knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door a couple of times. I count my blessings every time I look at her angelic face!

You just drop on in, here on the Corner, any ole time you choose! I hear we may meet in August, "in the flesh," [shutup, Bean!] out Asheville way!!! Hope things work out ...

Always good to hear from another Valley Streamer and especially a fellow Sobro Avenuer...,

Rick here
Richie, That is a great photo of Sophia. I see that all the prayers sent her way are working!!!! Maybe someday soon Peggy and I will make our way to your neck of the woods.

About the "Corner Mailbox " Keep it going!!
I'm a member of a couple of forums, I do a bunch of lurking around on them,I don't post much on any of them. But I do enjoy reading most of the posts. As I said back in March when I added my two cents. I will post when I have something to say. Otherwise I just read.
I really enjoy the photo albums I don't have many photos from back then, so it is nice to see the ones everybody sends to the Mail box.

Just to clarify, especially in light of the drought around here & yesterday's e-mail to all of you regarding same ...

Out By the Corner Mailbox is meant to be a casual & no-pressure meeting place, but it is meant to be used! Please, do!

Friends we were; friends we are; friends we will always be ...
