Leonia Poems Tom Greening

I wrote the first five of these poems over the years about my experiences growing up in Leonia, New Jersey, and later going to our 25th high school class reunion in 1973. I hesitated sharing them with my classmates because I mainly wrote them for myself and they are rather personal and not always very cheerful. But I decided the poems belong to my classmates as much as to me, so I distributed copies at our 45th reunion in April 1993.
