Growing Up in Southern Maryland

I grew up in Waldorf, going to Iverson Mall was a big deal because Waldorf didn't have anywhere to shop then. I have one of those Santa in the trailer pictures too!
My brothers went to Bishop McNamara, so I spent a lot of time up near Penn Mar (Horn & Horn, Kresgees (sp?) and JC Penny) when my mother drove the carpool.
Do you have any pictures of MRS Santa Clause from that trailer? My Mom was Mrs Santa from @1962-1966 and my uncles owned both barber shops in Hillcrest & Marlow Hts.
I also went to McNamara. Who are your brothers? I graduated in 1972.

If your Dad graduated from Suitland in 69, ask him if he remebers a "really" big girl that went there by the name or Margie Cheshire? I mean she was H U G E!!

Margie graduated in '68...last I heard she is in a wheelchair and living in Florida.

We have a group of '68 Suitland grads that get together once every month or every other month to share a good meal, stories and lies. PM me if you are interested in joining us.

Huh? I am not a bum. I'm a jerk. I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman. Now I only have two things: my friends and... uh... my thermos. Huh? My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin' on the porch with my family, singin' and dancin' down in Mississippi.

Love that movie!:lmao:

Does anybody remember the "Spicers", Mike, Steve, Jimmy? Lived in the housing development across from PennMarr. Used to hang at the crab line in Forrestville. Maybe Lindy Stamp?

I drove a cab in Marlow Heights when I was going to college. Loved Steak in a Sack.

I was born in the old Laplata hospital, grew up in Aquasco, and graduated from Gwynn Park/1969. I briefly moved to Alexandria, VA, before moving to the Marlow Heights/Temple Hills area 1970 - 1983, i.e. Marlow Madison Apartments (across from the shopping center), Marlow Heights Apartments (28th Avenue), 23rd Parkway, and then Brinkley House. Worked for Home Beneficial Life Insurance Company in the Marlow Heights Shopping Center from 1971 - 1978. Worked part-time jobs in the 70's at Hecht Company, Red Barn, and Hot Shoppes.

Sister, Friends, co-workers and I use to frequent the Steak-in-the-Sack.
