It's by Cindy and it can be found over on the right side of this page under "NearandFarAZ".
I say it's remarkable because it is about Carmel, Indiana and a couple of surrounding communities.
It's where my wife, the famed SWMBO, grew up and returned to raise her young family.
When I met Judy she lived in a house in a very wooded area, a forest really, just outside of Carmel and she remembers the population being around 3,000 people.
A village.
Today, as Cindy reports, Carmel is home to around 92,000 people and is a modern thriving city on the edge of Indianapolis.
Incidentally a point of interest: the name of the town is pronounced CAR-mel in Indiana.
In California their Carmel is pronounced car-MEL.
I failed to find any pictures of the town back in the day but I have this one of my dear love, from about the time that I met her . . . a girl from Carmel.
Beautiful then . . beautiful now.
