They were building the new Junior High School right over the fence behind my house. They brought in a LOT of fill from Boston Harbor, where they were dredging that year, and on one of the dirt mounds Dickey Aichen and his brother had built a stick and refrigerator box fort; which we ALL wanted very badly, and we staged almost daily "dirt bomb" assaults on them and their fort because it this.
This, and that we HATED Dickey Aichen and his brother What's-His-Name.
The clots of dirt were mostly dried clay and hit the fort with a sweet briffit of dust as they exploded. We threw them at those two and their fort endlessly always screaming
"Remember the Alamo!" as we threw them.
We laid siege to that fort all that Spring and early Summer, until their sister Eilien sprouted tits. We all noticed them the first really good beach day sitting on the wall just down from The Clam Box,
then we laid siege to her.
By September nearly all of the girls had tits, that was a REALLY good year . . .
