I remember East Providence schooling very well. I started off with the nuns at St. Francis Xavier, and when you were bad, they brought out the cricket paddle when you were bad; luckily, I evaded the nuns and tired them out before the bell rang. I remember Sister Harnois, Sister Fraga and Mother Superior there.

Then it was off to Brightridge with Mr. Mathias and the other teachers there. I remember the first day I got glasses and I went to the furthest fence to hide. While there, I met my friend John Prisco who was a School One student, and went to school there very sparingly. We watched monster movies after school and played with monster toys.

Then it was back to St. Francis, now known as Orchard St School, with Mr. Hurley as principal, with Mrs. Butterfield for home room, Mr. Wolf for Social Studies, and Mr. Croome for science, and he was like a crazy mad scientist with his experiments. Side Note: Mr. Croome was the operator of THE TURBO at Crescent Park and gave his students extra time on the ride.
