In 1978, I was living in Brookline,Mass. I had moved to the Boston area after graduationg from college in 1977. I had a job in Taunton Mass. and commuted from Brookline with a friend. We left for work at 6:30 in the morning. Two weeks before the "big storm" we had left at 6:30 to get to our jobs at the Paul A dever state school (the kind of institutions that no longer exist in this country.) Many people did not make it in that day and we had minor accident due to the horrendous driving conditioins. The day the big storm hit, the gods were smiling on me as I was quite sick with a cold and had called in sick. Had I gone to work, I would have been one of the cars in the 10 miles of stuck and abandoned cars on rte. 128. Instead I was home in bed. My chinese neighbors brought me some food and I was unable to leave Boston or go to work for a week. No one was able to drive in Boston. I remember walking around on the streets and people looking for their cars by digging down to fing them buried in the snow. I was just 22 years old and during that week I went to the movies by myself for the first time. I saw the Goodbye Girl with an up and coming actor named "Richard Dreyfuss." And we all know what happened to him. Those memories are still very vivid in my mind. I move to N.H. the following year and have lived here ever since.
