Tribute to the Dunes Theatre of Zion, Illinois 1948-2014
The Dunes was torn down today. I and my family have many fond memories of watching movies there.
We were wishing it would have been saved and restored.

Old friends passing time
Revisiting times and places
Bring forth laughter and tears
As they share fond memories
Of youthful days so long ago

In my treasure box
Is an abundance of wealth
Rare riches of my mind
Treasures of fond memories
And golden nuggets of life

Lilac! The sight of you is like the visit of an old friend.
Your fragrance brings back fond memories of childhood
days in May when you bloomed in my front yard.
We children would run and play while enjoying the scent
you surrounded us with.
Mother would let us pick bouquets of you to grace our table and
to share with neighbors who were not as fortunate to own a bush such as you.
Lilac, I loved you as a child,
and I still enjoy your purple splendor in my yard
and upon my table in May.
