...Patrick, as well as Ethel's Christopher, Max, Douglas and Rory, Eunice's Mark and Anthony, and some of their friends, I set out in a camper for a fun-filled tour across my home state. We rode the roller coaster, the Dodgem cars and the wave swinger ride at the Riverside amusement park in Agawam. We camped out in sleeping bags.
