Bernadette's Story
went to grade school at Parker Grade School in Royal Oak Mi and Massey and Amherst High Schools. Note to Parker classmates after high school notes.
It's been a 'few' years since high school. lol Not sure of the exact date i graduated, will check my transcripts and change if i guessed wrong, but i must be pretty close. obviously dates aren't a priority to me or senility is upon me.
I was a geek in school. Shy, insecure, quiet. Was an average student. Wanted to be an actress (ha ha). Lived on a horse farm so that didn't do much for my extracurricula activities or help me get to know my classmates.
I worked at Uncle Tony's restaurant, then at Duffys while going to school;only had to go to school half days in grade 12 and 13. That was when we shared the school with some other students. Went to school during the morning and early afternoon shift- was finished around 1pm i think. I remember hating to have to get up early to catch the school bus but it gave me a chance to earn some cash for university.
Went to Windsor University for a year and spring intersession. Hitch hiked to Ottawa one long week-end with a friend. Ended up moving there after I left Windsor.

ted Amherstberg about 4 years ago to reminisce. Uncle Tony's is gone! I remember the owners mother made the best home made spaghetti sauce, served it every Sunday. Was glad I could have lunch at Duffy's at least, was surprised it hasn't changed. Looks the same and the food is great. Had to have the perch of course. I've lived in northern ontario for 25 years so perch was a nice change from pickeral.
Visited "our" high school too. Thought of all the other students I went to school with.. Wondered how their lives turned out. Mine sure didnt go down the path I thought it would. Had some great experiences, personal and work wise, and met a lot of interesting people.

PARKER GRADE SCHOOL
Wow, what do I say. Have good memories of Parker. I have some class photos. We look so young and innocent. Was disappointed the old school's not there anymore. Went to walk down memory lane around 2005. I remember Debbie Bacon, Marie Kauhias (not sure how to spell the last name). When I look at the photos I remember them (you) but not necessarily the names offhand. Hope your doing great and had/have a wonderful life.
