Concord, N.H., in 1949 was a perfect town for my size. It had a soul, and it was a friend you could trust.
From where I lived, Ma would send me to the corner store with a dollar or two for something, and Dad would give me a quarter later in the day after he came home from work to run to the same store and pick up a pack of Old Golds. There was never any worry about my safety even though I was barely 7.
Come Saturday, for a half a buck I could walk, unaccompanied, to the theater and have a heck of a good afternoon.
Concord in the late 1940s did have some big trees and occasional parks where I would go with the old man on summer afternoons and watch him and his brothers play baseball.
