Q: What is your earliest memory of growing up in Franklin Square?
A: I grew up in Franklin Square. I’ve lived here all my life, and I guess my earliest memory would be just a great neighborhood and great friends and a community that was always together. It was just a great childhood memory. Kids went out and played, very different than today a little bit because of the way things are, but it was just a great place to grow up.
