Pool Party

Date: 1966

Location: Dumont, NJ

"This group of my parents' friends (their best friends and the people they hung out with the most while I was growing up) my father met at St. Mary’s. All of these men were in the Men’s Choir and also belonged to the Knights of Columbus. We socialized often as families. "

"At some point during the party, children and adults would make a whirlpool in the pool by all swimming in the same direction until some adult determined that the pool was about to cave in; a child was missing; or, he needed to get out and get another beer."
