Hi Phyllis in Glenmora,

I also used to swim in Spring Creek, but we went to Richmond Bridge.
That was only a couple miles from us.
I still remember how cold that water is. You couldn't stay in very long
because you turned blue !!!
Went there last time I was in LA but it didn't look the same. My sister
sent me pictures of the new bridge. That is a real shock.

Went to school at Forest Hill.
