Dona's Story
I was short and wore glasses. My last homeroom was in the room used by the cooking classes. I went to Cass Tech. in Science and Arts for a year after graduating Greusel. My father, who was a factory worker, was transferred to Ford Livonia Transmission and had a car accident driving there so we moved to Livonia. So I missed the riots. I graduated from Livonia Franklin High School in 1968. I went to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and got a B.S. in Mathematics in 1973.

I was in excellent health but got very ill and went to the only Emergency Room in Ann Arbor (at the UMMC). I was insured because I had been paying health insurance for years. They said I had a virus without doing any tests and sent me home. I was too sick to argue with them about it. I have been sick ever since and am now diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. With all my education and business skill and experience, you would think that I could successfully complain about this. Think again!
