Summary:
Fourth of July marked beginning of summer when Carol Williams Kimball was a kid but later, when she was teaching, the holiday signaled the end of a leisurely vacation as summer school began. Growing up, the Fourth also meant an influx of city relatives courtesy of their rural kin. Fireworks decorated the sky for family and visitors even during the Great Depression. Family interactions, grandmother's home at Best View, swimming, crabbing, fishing, white pond lilies and hot dogs overcame memories of rain, mosquito bites and the faltering economy.
