Wawanosh Industries

that boy is young at
eighteen years of age,
mentally handicapped
but full of beautiful things
inside
his expression is sheer delight
grinning his wide grin
teeth showing so brightly
his buddies are shoulder to shoulder
cleaning out filthy bottles
all day
for a local oil refinery,
and he can still carry a tune

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
