Rate of Exchange

Rope Swing

|

To the Editor: Benjamin Zabar's poignant column, "A Farewell to the Rope Swing," (Aug. 6, 2003) brought crystal-clear memories splashing back of countless, joyful hours hooting it up on our own secret swing almost twenty summers ago. The swing is dead, long live the swing!
