Submitted by Gaylord Little - There was a field of dreams in the 50's, 60's, & 70's, in Waterside, Pa. All the kids in town played either baseball or football behind Arthur & Marie Little's house. The field was approx 70 yards long and 25 yards wide. There was a general store on the other side of the road where you could get all the refreshments you wanted after the game. Some of the youth that spent a lot of time there were: Rodger, Donald "Tiny", & Jim Wright, Boyd Rupp, Jack & Terry Koontz, Jesse Reighard, Gaylord Little, Kenny & Donny Huntsman, Jim, John, Terry, & Bobby Snyder, Marvin & Johnny Baker, Rob, & Mike Reed, Danny & Robin Imler, Gary Defibaugh, Mahlon Dimond, Sharon Fletcher, Allen & Kevin Barnes, and Mr. & Mrs. Little's grandchildren from Florida when they came to visit. There was no need for referees, all games were self governed by the kids, there were no parents around to interfere. If you got hurt, you could sit on the swingset and watch till you felt good enough to play again. Lots of times we would play til it got so dark you couldn't see the ball. Some summer nights we would build a fire in the outside fireplace, toast marshmallows and hotdogs to eat under the picnic shelter. The field was always mowed nicely and there were never any set times or number of players. Everybody knew they were welcome at anytime. It was a great place to play and grow up.
