Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This old Jim Reeves song has always been a favorite of mine. Apparently it's been hanging around in my files since last November. I had quite forgotten it was there. |

"Vic Zodda":
Hi, Carol:
After recently visiting one of Our Old Stomping Grounds on Buxton Avenue in Newport News, we were surprised to find the marsh adjacent to the former Vic Zodda Restaurant is being filled in with dirt. This was part of Salter's Creek and marsh grass covered the area. The photo was taken on Buxton Avenue facing towards 25th Street. The former Vic Zodda Restaurant building is in the distance. |

Am I That Easy to Forget?
Words and Music by Carl Belew and W.S. Stevenson
(Jim Reeves)
They say you've found somebody new,
But that won't stop my loving you.
I just can't let you walk away,
Forget the love I had for you.
Guess I could find somebody, too,
But I don't want no one but you.
How could you leave without regret?
Am I that easy to forget?
Before you leave be sure you find
You want your new love much more than mine.
'Cause I'll just say we've never met,
If I'm that easy to forget?
If I'm that easy to forget?
