Rose Serio Russell remembers riding from Pawcatuck to Charlestown to pick blueberries with her family when she was a girl. Russell, now 87, recalls riding in the back of a pickup truck loaded with galvanized pails for the berries and homemade bread and tomatoes for lunch.
"We'd leave at 7 and stay all day," said Russell. "Charlestown had loads and loads of berries."
"We didn't have much money," said the Pawcatuck native, who did a stint at Woolworth's in downtown Westerly before her children were born, and worked at Moore's Mill during the war, "but we had lots of love and lots of memories."
