A start at my "Autobiography"
Selected stories by Dick Whitney
The home I grew up in at 122 Litchfield Ave.

(At left ~1953 and at right 1969 photo)
I was born at Harrington Hospital in Southbridge, and since birth
unitl
I married Peg in 1977, with the exception of College, I lived at 122
Litchfield
Ave.
I had a very happy childhood growing up on this street. The portion
of Litchfield where I grew up was a dead end, and we
had
great
times
in
this
neighborhood.
My room was the one facing front (second floor) to the left of the
front door. Mom and Dads was on the other side and Sues overlooked the
other side and back yard.
The bell I am holding in the above photo was one that Mom used when she wanted us to come home (for supper) when we were playing in the neighborhood.
