NE MANCANO DUE
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A pranzo dai miei, mio padre inizia a raccontare di quando era giovane. Alla fine degli anni ’50, neanche ventenne, lavorava come fattorino a Bologna. L’orario infernale era 7-12 più 21-24. Dormiva in una stanza con altri 4 per dividere le spese. Ancora oggi dice di non aver mai patito tanto freddo d'inverno come le notti in bicicletta a Bologna. Quando fu assunto come postino iniziò a fare il pendolare da Forlì. Prendeva il treno delle 5:25 di mattina, alle 7 entrava in turno e alle 9 usciva in bici per le consegne. A volte capitava il turno all'ufficio postale su via Emilia, a 10 km dalla stazione, tutti percorsi in bici prima di iniziare. Dopo pranzo riposava su un tavolo del magazzino, poi altre due ore di lavoro e un altro treno per tornare. Negli anni ’60 fu chiamato per il servizio militare negli alpini, ma il giorno prima della partenza fu assegnato all’aeronautica. Dopo il CAR a Orvieto finì alla base NATO di Napoli, una vera e propria cittadella autonoma con parchi, campi sportivi, cinema, negozi e locali come il Flamingo Club, con discoteca, slot machine e una sala concerti dove si esibì anche Louis Armstrong. Mio padre faceva l’attendente per un Generale italiano. La mattina andava in città dalla moglie di questo, che gli offriva il caffè e una sigaretta perché, diceva lei, "gli uomini devono fumare” poi, si faceva consegnare una lista e andava a far commissioni per le botteghe di Napoli. Pomeriggio libero alla base oppure in città a comprare sigarette, che a Napoli costavano pochissimo, per poi rivenderle una volta in licenza a Forlì. Gli ultimi mesi fu trasferito all’aeroporto militare di Miramare di Rimini, faceva il cameriere alla mensa dei piloti. Un pomeriggio, mentre era sul tetto con altri a prendere il sole, sentendo il rumore delle Frecce Tricolori che rientravano da un’esibizione, un pilota si alzò e disse “Ne mancano due.” Era il 5 maggio 1963, 2 dei 9 aerei della pattuglia acrobatica erano appena precipitati sopra Forlì, un pilota era morto e solo per puro caso era stata evitata una strage.

During the first half of the 20th century, Idlewild, Michigan was one of the few resort communities in the country where Black people were allowed to vacation and purchase property, before discrimination was outlawed in 1964. It became known as “Black Eden,” and between the ’40s and early ’60s, nearly 30,000 visitors would visit each summer.
The community offered swimming, boating, summer activities, sports, and an active nightlife, including the Paradise Club and Flamingo Lounge, pictured here. Today, many of the remaining homes and motels are abandoned. One of the most popular hotels in the area was called the Casa Blanca Hotel and is in the midst of renovations after being abandoned for decades. Source
The current community living there is small but determined to bring more life into their beloved Idlewild. Many are working towards revitalizing this area, including Deborah O. Haugabook, who purchased 38 acres of land to turn it into a campground.

She was remarkably willing to follow through on a swing, wasn't she? As if she thought she might tee my head right off my neck!
