Hi Mack: We lived on Bert Ave. for 12 years, at 344, from 1926 to 1938.The yard at St. Francis Hospital at that time was full of cherry trees. As kids we used to jump the fence and pick the cherries when the Sisters were not around. It was'nt a nice thing to do but the Sisters were tough and we wanted to get even. St. Francis at that time was no where near the size it is now. Regards, Ralph

Hi Ralph:)
I offer no comments about the Sisters as I am still afraid they might come to my house and slap my wrist with a ruler :)!!

Great Post. I would have joined you in this if I lived there then:)
