I will never forget the day that my family was on vacation in Vermont. I being a great candy lover had just purchased a lunch size bag of what was then penny candy ( you know the squirrel nuts, Mary Jane's ,Carmel creams) you get the picture . My brother had done the same. So we leave the old time general store and of course as two siblings do we were tourchering each other in the back seat. Well my dad must have told us a hundred times to stop but being the funny guy i am I did not, so finally he said one more word and I'm throwing out the candy. Well I thought to myself noway would he do this to his little boy so on I went doing what I do best busting. Well all of a sudden the car pulled off onto the shoulder and my dad turned around grabbed not only my candy but my brothers and out the window it went....I was mortified, in shock, stunned I was speechless , then with his stern voice he said now sit back and enjoy the ride. I thought to myself I just bought that I can't believe it That was awesome candy all my favorites. Let me tell you that day forever etched White River Junction, Vermont into my memory and to this day I still bring up that horrific day of loosing all my candy to my kids and they laugh at me . Ahhh memories !!!!
