Sandy's Story
Life......
I was born in Detroit, June 23, 1951. That makes me a Detroit Wolverine. The Mitten and Bunny Rabbit of Michigan are my home and always will be my home. I never even left the state until I was 15 years old.
We moved around Detroit quite a bit as I grew up. I went to five - 5 different elementary schools. They were, in order as follows......Keating, Lynch, Ives, Carstens, Clark, Hosmer, and back to Carstens. . I went to Carstens, both in the third grade the sixth grade when I graduated. Jackson Jr High School was next. There I stayed for the full three years.
At Jackson, my homeroom was 316 with Mr. Rocket for a year and a half. Then they started a new homeroom and I was transfered. That was 214 With Mrs. Harrelson. Do you remember that the entrance to 214 was in the stairwell? I met new friends in both homerooms and still see them today.
On to Southeastern. I loved my years at "The Big SE". I was a member of the girls swim team where I won my letter in swimming three times. The first year on the team my coach was Mrs. Bell. The next two years we had Miss. Toni Childs as our coach. She was also the Modern Dance teacher.
My homeroom was 323 with Mr. Mack Pitt. I was transfere...Expand for more
d to Homeroom 322 and my counselor was Mrs. Pat Taylor. If you know me it would be ok for you to e-mail me, let's talk over old times.
*We always lived on the East Side of Detroit but moved quite a bit. I learned the city more with each move.
When I graduated from SE, I moved to the West side by the old Fleetwood plant and learned that side of town.I worked for the J.L. Hudson Company Downtown by Beacon & Beaubion Streets, in the Garage for the company vehicles. I was in the Thanksgiving Day Parade twice. My boss was the man that drove the float that carried Santa. Everyone knows that the REAL Santa always came to Hudsons'.
I remember Vernors on Woodward, Faygo on Vernor Avenue and Grillis and Better Made on Gratiot Ave. I still love them all and except for the Grillis I still Drink that pop and eat those chips. I think Grillis went out of business.
Do you remember Strohs Beer on Gratiot by Downtown Detroit? I have a bottle opener from them. I was born in
Detroit and love my hometown. I would love to become Mayor and clean up the city once and for all.
I live in Houston, TX and come to Detroit on a regular basis.
You can see some of the pictures I took when I was in town the last time.
