David's Story
Marsha?...Well...I went from de Sales to CC for High School: I had no idea I wouldn't be seeing any of my grade school 'chums'again, and that always bothered me.
I was quiet at CC; never a joiner, moved to Livonia w/ folks senior year.
Bounced around a few Community Colleges, w/ out direction-some Accounting- some Business.
Worked briefly at News and Free Press as a 'paperhandler' , as well as running Thunderline Corporation(well...Midnight Supervisor!) in Wayne, MI. Finally got hired in at UPS Livonia in '74.
Worked ther from '74 'til I got injured in '98, lost pension , etc.,. (I like to say I worked 75 years at UPS, but only got paid for 25!!ha, ha!).
BUT!....I did meet my future wife, and best Friend, Patty, there, so!...
Wwe lived in various places in Detroit and Livonia until we moved to Chelsea farm in '88.
Very fun- Hard work running a small pumpkin business'til I got injured.
Patty and I have adopted 5 older"special" needs kids ...Expand for more
from 3 'sib' groups (But Hey?...Aren't ALL KIDS SPECIAL NEEDS?! YIPES!!!!).
Two of our kids were horribly injured in a car crash, James and Robyn: James is 30 now, and doing much better, working, etc.,....Robyn suffered many permanent injuries , 'worst' being severe Brain injury....She wasn't supposed to be 'here' so each day is special indeed! She's 24 Staying on 13, and is the light of our lives: As well as other kids although , THEY CAN BE SLIGHTLY IRRITATING AT TIMESSSSS James, 30; Michelle ,25; Robyn, 24; Amy, 19; Adrian, 17. ME?...57...Patty?...PRICELESS!!!
We moved to NW Jackson County in 2006 to another Farm with a neat older Greek Revival that we constantly work on!
That about wraps it up , although my hobby I love is showing and driving my Saleen Mustang!
