THEN: Robert Parisi and his siblings Laura and Gino sit on a rock in the popular family outing spot, Great Falls, in the summer of 1968. "It seems the biggest difference between kids today and when I was a kid are the summers. As kids we had freer rein, our activities weren’t structured as much as they seem to be today. There were teams (swimming, soccer) but that didn’t dictate the summers. You would just hang out with your friends all day. We would spend our summers at the pool by my house and walk up to Cabin John Center for lunch. We used to go to lunch at a sub shop of what is now [Broadway Pizza]. Before we could drive we would go to there because it was close to my house and we could walk."
