Also the movies at the Rec Center where you could get in with milk bottle caps. We moved to the West Side and by 2nd grade I was attending Lincoln Elementary. There were also Saturday mantinees downtown at the Kiggens and Castle where you could get in with Pepsi bottle caps.billinriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277895660217153532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156642551730696693.post-15560682072564042872021-12-06T05:43:02.774-08:002021-12-06T05:43:02.774-08:00I remember that there was a kind of wooded canyon ...I remember that there was a kind of wooded canyon where you could get lost and was kind of spooky.billinriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277895660217153532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156642551730696693.post-66672368216435687112021-12-06T05:40:49.868-08:002021-12-06T05:40:49.868-08:00Wow, Gale - I went to Marshall at the time as well...Wow, Gale - I went to Marshall at the time as well, and my first teacher was Ms. Fish.

The Natta's who lived next to us and owned the lettice fields down the hill below Andresen Road were so nice and helped us a lot during the War. Never heard from anyone again when we had to move in 1953. I did see Jill Spannith and Linda Singmaster but that was all.

Miss Nordquist was a super teacher (maybe why I became one). Lived with my uncle and aunt, Ed and Nadine Hamm. He never finished high school but became a Supervisor at the shipyard. One of 3 I think. He was<br />offered a commission as a captain in the SeaBees but thought he<br />could help the war effort better by building ships. He was a<br />fundamental part of the greatest generation!Don Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707667663738057532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156642551730696693.post-44401392077947634112020-12-18T14:23:34.766-08:002020-12-18T14:23:34.766-08:00I was born on the heights at 6305 13th st in 1943....I was born on the heights at 6305 13th st in 1943. we lived there from 1942 to 1953 also after they made us move.

We agreed, that the shopping Center was unique, now I know why, look who designed it. I fondly remember the recreation building, Tap classes, Badminton , Saturday bottle cap movies. My Schools, until I went to the old Vancouver High down town, for my Soph. & Jr year, then we moved. Thanks for the memories.

The theater and park were behind the graveyard. Wonderful to see Disney movies like Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella , etc. Entrance fee was a bottle cap from a milk company. Plus the shopping center had a very wide and smooth covered sidewalk that was perfect for skating with our clip on skates.
