The McGrath family did live close to you, David just passed away not to long ago from cancer. You were only about 3 blocks from the red barn, lol, but at 6 that seems like a mile. I believe the house is still there.
Wow, it seemed like I pedaled my bike forever to get to the Red Barn! 3 blocks? I'm embarrassed! Hah.
Mr. Griffin lived in a trailer house next to us.
I was friends of Jim McGrath. If I was 6, Jim was 8 or 9. He must've been a younger brother to Loren and David. Jim was a very strange kid, I'll just leave it at that.
Did the Garmendias live in a big farmhouse where I described?
