What Levittown, New York means to me after all these years

By David M. Phillips

Levittown's culture lives in me every day.
I had a home there for 21 years of my life where life was as stable as it got.
Levittown is featured in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Museum in Simi Valley, CA, north of Los Angeles.
ReAgan saw Levittown as a focus of 20th century culture and change.
Reagan knew Levittown well.
And all these many years later, I see Dewain Lanfear (class of 1960) on Facebook.
I knew him in high school.
How many people can say this, that they know an educator for so long, recalling the old days.
He is but one of many teachers and friends of the Levittown days.
We are a full culture, we of Levittown.
