Growing Up in Roscoe, New York

This cute little boy is my father, Charles Barry Williams.

He was born 1924 in New York City but spent his school years living with his grandparents Charles & Helen Jones in Roscoe NY.  They lived in a 2-story shingled house on Railroad Avenue.

            Among Catskills area high school football teams, he was known as "that fast colored guy from Roscoe".
