pleasantly shabby with a disarming beauty, it shared an etheral charm on summer evenings
it was anyones and everyones founded by yankee doodle himself
but like any small new england village this town had secrets
the day wore the afternoon sun like a perfect memory as we were about to turn on to water street from the north adams side of main street when jack nicklaus asked us how to get to the golf course he had hit his second hole in one at while standing next to a lite blue continental near the masonic lodge

2 years after harold s mom graduated, the williamstown theater festival put on a production of the golden boy starring a then as yet unknown actor named dylan mcdermott who would play pick up basketball with us almost every day
he asked my name one time so i asked his
he said very clearly " dylan [ something ] "
he said it like i should remember it and i did
except for the remembering part
thought he might have said " macgillivary" at the time because he looked very similar to peter macgillivary who had just become a successful photographer with the north adams transcript and the williamstown advocate because they both had blond hair back then and their names started with 'mac'
he also mentioned he was with the wtf so in 2012 I googled to see if dylan was dylan m and voila

paul newman s wife joanne woodward was directing the golden boy that year and they built a house out on hancock road almost across from where i was working as a laborer with dave who was doing carpentry for bob who was putting an addition on his farm house
bob had connected the solar panel to a water heater which not only heated a hot tub inside the sunporch addition, but also heated the floor of the sunporch by pumping solar hot water through pvc pipes lain in the cement floor
the newman s house looked pretty normal except for a really nice segmented arc window over what I had thought was the front door at the time it was 2 houses west of 720 hancock road on the south side

pappa charlie s originally was the a&w rootbeer stand next to a&p on route 2 ( where you could order baklava if you wanted ) charlie s son mike nikitas, who began the naming of sandwiches, ran the sandwich shop on spring street called mike s deli which became pappa charlies as this 1994 ny times article mentions :
" Gwyneth Paltrow also declines the Blythe Danner Special. Ms. Paltrow is her 21-year-old daughter -- taller, thinner and blonder, and without that voice. Ms. Paltrow's name has been on the list of rising young movie stars since her small but scene-stealing performance last year as Ginnie, a grifter, in "Flesh and Bone." Her name has yet to go up on the sandwich board at Pappa Charlie's with those of other actors at Williamstown, though that may change soon. "

it seemed like every town just a place where nothing exiting happened and you couldn't wait to leave probably just like your town

a girl who worked at the wire factory where we made the power cords for milwaukee power tools dated tom cruise
hmm strange footnote found her online and it looks like she got married and her name is now heithcock
ybor city is where the gasperilla celebration takes place and samuel trafficante jr lived
now that i remember, the footnote becomes stranger
my friend lance and i used to play pickup basketball at the college gym and sometimes dylan mcdermott would play with us, who was starring in the golden boy at the williamstown theater festival that year
my friend's sister katie was stunningly beautiful and a really big paul newman fan - the driver of the shah's family and a getty heir were her admirers
she asked me to see if lance would take her to the prom but lance said he wanted to bang the present ms heithcock and hence didn't want to trifle with katie's feelings
if you feel bad for katie, joanne woodward produced the golden boy that year and paul newman built a house two houses down from katie's
later i went out with ms heithcock's sister where she had told me her sister had dated tom cruise and both her and her sister had wanted to go out with lance
at the time ms heithcock and her sister shared a 4wd subaru dl
more subfootnote strangeness ms heithhcock is a writer...she wrote a book
ms heithcock's brother started opex cross fit training centers
i forgot why i didn't recall this earlier and then i remembered - oh yeah, i had fallen off a roof and gotten amnesia
there is more story footnote to the strangeness which i'll try to touch upon here
