The Way Back: Familiar Faces of the 90s & 00s
Photos and memories courtesy of Erin Kalvaitis
Here are some familiar faces of the people of Ghent and Norfolk back in the 1990s to early 2000s?? For many years I lived in the Ghent area of Norfolk. I worked my job as a nurse by day and then I went to my second job by night seeing local and traveling bands play the Norfolk bars. Every night was a great night, hanging with friends. drinking a little too much, having to get up for work feeling not so hot. But, it was all worth it because I had some great times and every single person I met was amazing. Nowadays, I pretty much stay secluded on my farm, but I am glad that I get visits now and then from old friends wanting to get out of the city and come relax on the farm picking veggies and playing with farm animals.
