ON RASPBERRIES + SALAMANDERS
Ray Gorlin“These were raspberry fields and salamanders- thousands, everywhere.”
I grew up in Hopkins Minnesota, and this is a quote from my 90 year old neighbor Sharron Steinfeld, who spent most of her life living in this neighborhood. She spent most of her life living in this same place, and was describing to me all of the raspberry fields that used to cover the area, and how all the salamanders would fall into the window wells of the houses where they would collect them as children. I have never seen a salamander in our neighborhood and have always wanted to.
