One last bite out of summer

There's no longer any way to avoid it.

We say farewell to summer this week.

Actually, I've already bid adieu to my favorite time of the year. It's a mindset that comes over me as soon as we hit Labor Day weekend. I suddenly notice that I can barely make it home before it gets dark.

Officially, we exit summer on Thursday.

But before we go, I decided to use my Monday print column to revisit something I brought up here in the blog last week.

It is my belief that every town no doubt had a very special summer place, the local swim club.

For anyone who grew up in Oxford, Pa., there was no doubt.

Heaven in the summer had a name.

It was called Bicknell's Pool.
