Independence Day
The last couple years since our marriage, we’ve celebrated Independence Day in Glenmoor at my mother’s house. I grew up in Glenmoor, and it was one of the first suburban tracts in Fremont, CA. In the seventies I remember the Glenmoor development surrouned by orchard and flower farms. The Glenmoor neighborhood was built by the Reeder family of whom Reeder Sr. was a city councilman. The Reeders have been Birchers for some time, and it was the son of Reeder Sr. who help me join the Birch Society. I love celebrating the Fourth in Glenmoor since it allows me to share something of my childhood with my wife and baby-girl while invoking many sweet memories.
