    WINDSOR LOCKS - FORMER TRAIN STATION - 10
    I remember walking down those steps to get on the train to Hartford, where my grandmother (Julia E Polmatier) would take me to buy my new Easter outfit.  It was so exciting for me, hearing the thunder of the train arriving making butterflies in my stomach. The crash of the wheels and steam, my grandmother trying to hold her hair in place.  These were some of my favorite memories!  Whenever I ride by the train station, I wish I could go inside to see where my grandmother and I would wait for the train! 
     
    Also, my grandmother's sister (Sadie Wallace) would take the train to Hartford to work everyday! 
     
    Personally, I would like to see the station stay where it is!  For me, and I am sure many others, it would not be the same if moved.

        2005 - DOG DAZE - BARX-ER OF SATAN'S KINGDOM.jpg
        This is actually the "Pirate Dog" boxer I created for Dog Daze along with
        a Pointillist pointer painted with a nod to Seurat's Afternoon at the Grande Jatte 
        and currently in the Lipton Collection, Boca Raton, FL
        I did a second commission of a pirate dog, standing guard
        somewhere in the local hills.   I named him "Spike"

        Great pictures of my hometown, Jerry!  You should take some pictures of St. Mary's Church and school next time you are there.  Maybe when the town green is finished (in 2050, or whenever it happens) you could photograph that, too!

        HUNTINGTON - TOWN GREEN - CURTISS MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN - 01.jpg
        I remember what this looked like before they painted it. It was copper and it oxidized green.

        Go over the bridge and take a left and go up the dirt road. You'll end up on Dublin Road. I used to live there,above the Falls.
