Oh, it was friendly, everybody knows everybody, by the historical side of people.
And she said, you know what I'm going to tell them?
I said, she's going to say, we married our classmates, we married, and everybody was
happy, and they've been happy ever since.
Swimming in the summertime, two places, we went out here near Haas, there was a place
called Blue Rock, and I went with my sister who was five years older than me, and I went
with her swimming there, and we would walk out there every day.
And then as I got older, I went with the group, and we would walk the railroad tracks to Stoverdale,
and you cross that railroad bridge, and down below was a creek.
It was very scary, but we did it.
And that's what we did most of the time, went swimming and rode bicycles.
Yes, one of the things that's rather interesting is the fountain that is up around Rosanna
and Railroad Street actually is in memory of one of my relatives, and used to be in
the square where the archway used to be, there used to be a fountain there.
And as I understand, I think the fountain primarily was for the watering of horses, because
horses at that time, many years ago, was a motor transportation, and it wasn't actually
running physically, a fountain, and at one time there were lion heads around the top
of it, and somehow they have disappeared.
And then when the trolleys ran into town, they ran right into the square, the fountain
was moved to where it is now.
It's not operative at this point.
The trolleys would go down to Hershey, and there was nothing.
And now you have all these buildings, all the medical center, and you think all of my
word.
You know?
Milton Hershey designed the coverage of areas where his employees lived to make sure they
had control of transportation by trolley of both his persons and the farmers in the area
to bring milk over to him at the factory to make chocolate.
So there was a primary function that he says, I can put a transportation line over to Middletown,
but on it we're going to have a car that's half pedestrian, and the other half, farmer's
milk cans, and that's how he built the place.
