The sandbox and world I left behind when I moved to California from Utah.

February 2, 1962 Ogden, Utah

The house at 228 N. Washington Blvd.? 🙂 ( I’m glad I got some pictures of it before they tore it down to make way for the new Lowe’s. 🙁 )

What Pharaoh Kingsley said……….

I love to see the sandbox you liked so much as child. Sorry you had to live it behind . I love you.

The wounderful sand box you talk alot about. Nice to see some of your home videos of you. Thank you for sharing.

The World is your Sandbox Donny!!!

I cried along with you when I listened to this part of your story, but so grateful you left that sandbox. Your music has given myself and millions of other fans so much happiness. Hope knowing that makes up a bit for losing those precious years Donny. Love you always! JH. PS.. fan since 71! 🥰

Didn’t we all have a sandbox like that in the 60’s? I wonder if you’re still friends with the neighbor boy you had to leave behind in Utah?
