Kids are different these days.

I remember walking into a private youth basketball league game a few years ago and seeing these kids who were in fourth and fifth grades just launching three-pointers. That in itself was not different, but what was different was the consistency with which some of these kids were making them.

We have a story in this issue about the 75th anniversary of the Harbor Theatre. Well, there’s a good chance that some of these members of Our Saviour Lutheran Church’s choir, shown here in 1944, may have been in the audience when The Harbor opened.

Nice to know that some things remain constant.
