ROGERS PLACE, BRONX, NY (PART I): LIFE BEFORE DEATH IN NEW JERSEY

in olden days you could get a middle class one room apt. in an outer borough of nyc for about 10 to 15 bucks a month.  the klovers lived in one of those on the ground floor.

sometimes after my 2nd grade school day ended at public school 39, the klover kids, mike and gerry, ray olsman from the third floor and i, assembled in the klover one room ground floor apt.  mr. klover was asleep in  a big bed and alice klover would supervise and be doing married lady things. it was rather busy and crowded all at once.

i recall assembling (american) indian beaded items from kits costing one cent.

mr. klover slept right through all the activities.
