You have mentioned several items that I know very well. I really don't remember Salami's but my sister went to Heronville because Rancho Village wasn't built yet. I rode horses, goats, swept Mrs. Reding's porch, washed dishes, gathered eggs and other chores for 25 cents each chore when I was pretty young. I played around that pond a lot, caught crawdad's for fun. Once I walked out on the pond when it was frozen. The ice cracked and I fell through. Of course it wasn't deep, but I went home frozen. By the way, wasn't the soft ice cream place "Frozen Delight" very close to Salami's?
