Enjoyed Town Activities
His grandchildren called him Bumper.
Norman Fay remembers 56 Florence St well. Chickens were kept there. There was a very narrow walkway where chickens went into the chicken house - one day Norman was supposed to bring them in and it was very cold. He thought he got them all in, but they found one the next day - frozen stiff!
