The Cricket Editor Erika Brown talks with Lifestyle Editor Kris McGinn about the unique childhood story of one of Essex MA's oldest residents and the surprising connection they uncover. Sylvia tells stories of her childhood adventures in the Essex Woods, watching the trains come and go from the window of the Essex Public Library, watching the carriages take city visitors to Chebacco Lake or Conomo Point to spend the day. Sylvia explains that although they were poor, she does not have a single unhappy memory of her childhood. Her story reminds us that the simple pleasures are really what matter.
