Life Hello All, Lived in Detroit (6 mile and Schaefer) till I was 2 then on to Redford on Beech N of 6 mile till I was 8 then moved across Beech to Sumner and Bennett behind Loretto and between Glenhurst golf course and Claude Allison park and Presbyterian Village.

Worked at Sinai from '71 to late '77, then on to U of M in A2 and back again to Sinai in '82 till early '89 I believe. Started out mopping floors in E.R. then in the O.R..
