Daily Waffles From Joe Sbaraglia (The Waffleman) FRANCIS READ SCHOOL - An elementary school where we spent the school day. After school or in the evening, baseball, basketball and other games were played in its large schoolyard. In the summer, it was the site of the local Summer Play Ground
Program. This was four or so hours of fun and games – three days a week. GARBAGE - was not trash, ashes or dirt. Garbage was food scraps, vegetable peels, fruit rinds and kitchen waste. No coffee grounds, though.
The garbage was collected twice a week. It was stored in garbage cans used to hold it till collection day. Then it was taken to New Jersey, processed and used to feed the pigs on the many pig farms. This was the utmost in recycling. GAW-NA – Going to. For example: We are gaw-na go to da Vet.
