In the old days when winters
were rough it was often possible to
ice skate for miles on Bush Creek;
in summer dozens of swimming
holes came to life and, all in all,
in the old days Bush Creek prob
ably furnished the bulk of recrea-
ton for the villages and farmers
who lived along it's banks. Those
were the times when automobiles
were a rarity, and simple home
spun pleasures made life worth
while.
Today Bush Creek remains the
same as it was century ago.
The barefoot boy with cheek Of
tan" l am very sorry to say, no
longer wanders along it's banks;
no more do the kids sit at the deep
hole by the big sycamore and fish
for sunfsh and mud-daubers; the
old swimming hole is nothing but
a memory; no more ice is cut from
the Creeks banks in winter Today
only the edges freeze) and, to tell
the truth, Bush Creek is forgotten.
Nostalgically speaking-I regret
that / was born couple of gen
erations too late.

Arena Stages greatest hit, "The
