I grew up in the Casa View area and we had the Harry Stone pool and the McCree pool to go swimming. What years? I grew up in Casa View, was less than a block from the Casa View Elementary pool but did go to Fuzzy Rock quite a bit too..... We would ride our bikes and skateboards all day and would slide into a hotel or apartment pool to cool off. When we were driving age we would sneak into the Village Country Club pool at night. We moved behind Bryan Adams on Casa View Street in 1967 and I graduated from BA in 1973.

We lived near a country club and they had a pool. I was 5 when the heatwave of 1980 hit, Mom said it was cheaper for us to have swimming lessons and to go swimming every day during the summer than to run the air. So that's what we did. Mom would drop us off and leave us. It was an Olympic size pool with a slide and two diving boards. There was a kiddie pool for a few years, but it was eventually filled in. They got rid of the big pool and small clubhouse several years back and put in a larger clubhouse, but I don't think there is a pool. I miss those days. I hauled hay all that summer. It sucked. Yeah, I was 5 that summer. Hauling hay would have definitely sucked. I used to work with my father during the summer plumbing houses. I hated going into a house under construction that had been closed up all day and walking in...It would be like 110 in those stupid things. Ugh.

Grew up playing in creeks all day. Had to be home by dark and always wet and covered with muck. One summer I did get to take swim lessons at city pool for a week. Remember house down the road got a pool and I was forbidden to go there to that friend and swim. After a couple of years, I got in one day. My dad passed by on way to work evening shift. When he got home, he questioned me about being in the pool and I got a belt whoopin. Back to the creek and stock ponds from that day forward until college. I miss those days of care free Evil Knieval bike riding, cut off jeans and cut off t shirt, no shoes and just livin all summer long.
