Also, Since I was a kid, when the Mount was first spotted in the afternoon I remember that was when all the adults went up to get their drinks. Now that the Mount doesn't have the same schedule, I just say the first time you see it is a good time to get a drink

I love this! We are on Wentworth, so no Mount sightings for us. Over the years, we would wait to hear Camp Bernadette play taps.

Then I would assume your father knows/knew my grandparents as I believe they have been there for 60 or so years at least.

Probably, We know pretty much everyone. Or used to. Now I just sit in my grandfather's spot on the porch listening to the Red Sox games like he used to.

Love it! But I still miss the sound of the Mount approaching with the old engines.
