Do you have any old photos that can be lent to the Civic for "Looking Back"? We're interested in pictures of the northwest section of Hicksville, Long Island such as Fairway Farms, the police booth on W. John St., the early days of the developments, the airplane at the mall, Nixon's visit, the circuses… to mention a few. The photos will be copied and may be used in the newsletter. For older residents it'll be a reminder of how rapidly changes have taken place and for newer residents it will be a look at how Hicksville once was. If you have a photo or photos you think would be of interest please email Dale Bennett [hicksville-nw@oocities.com] or bring them to a civic meeting.
