Little

Common experiences create connections
Columnist Gordie Little shares some of the plentiful feedback generated by his weekly meanderings on many topics.
  • Home gardens are really growing
    The Little garden is smaller than it used to be, but columnist Gordie Little has noticed others are expanding theirs or even planting for the first time.
  • Ice cream still hits the spot
    Some trucks that columnist Gordie Little remembers roaming neighborhoods and campgrounds dispensing frozen treats just rang bells. Others played songs and jingles.
  • That wonderful clang, clang, clang
    Even as a spectator, columnist Gordie Little loves the game of horseshoes.
  • Speaking of the celestial ...
    "Barn stars" are showing up with greater frequency in our area. And not only on barns, says columnist Gordie Little. They've been affixed to homes and businesses, large and small. They come in sizes ranging from tiny to gargantuan.
  • 'If you build it, they will hum"
    Some look down on the kazoo, but columnist Gordie Little finds there's more to the instrument than one might think.
  • Disposable wasn't invented yet
    Nothing was thrown away, columnist Gordie Little recalls from his childhood. Even bits of string were wound into balls and saved for some future use.
  • Mother's Day calls up many memories
    Alta Grace Little read to her son Gordie from the moment of his birth and taught him to appreciate the written word long before he went to school.
  • Don't believe everything you read
    Columnist Gordie Little is always glad to set the record straight if his column includes an error -- it's an opportunity to expand his knowledge and even renew friendships.
  • Do you know Plattsburgh's connection with the fated Titanic?
    Marble intended for St. John's Church went down with the unsinkable ship in 1912; columnist Gordie Little finds much more fascinating about the Titanic as well.
