St. Jude Church/School Nostalgia

I kinda remember the record store, but have a much clearer memory of when Bill Freehan came to Zodeens to sign autographs! Now, THAT was an exciting day for a 12 or 13 yr old! It had to have been only a year or two after the 68 Series!

I was there for that too. It was for the Grand Opening

Now I know I'm getting old. Does anyone remember what the question was?

The question was where is the Bocce Ball Hall of Fame located and who was the
Commissioner

[Eastburn]

That would have to be at Buddy's - 6 & Conant. As to the commish, no clue.

Late to the party, EB. Jeff gave the answer, but no one could remember the question.

Boy, you miss a few hours of forum - and fall FAR behind. Somewhere along the last 25 posts, someone asked a question about Altar "girls" - well, I can answer that with a definite YES. Being one, myself, though just an "Emergency Server" - it's an incredible experience. We do have a few "younger" ladies of high school age that assist at Mass as servers as well.

What was the question again?

[Campfire Girl]

Sis and I wore "twin" outfits - we didn't have many of those, but we wanted to stand out from all the other girls drooling over a real "TIGER"!

[Campfire Girl]

Don't know if anyone's parent's remember "Lorraine Elsey" - but she passed away yesterday at the age of 85. She was very active the the Altar Society as well as in St. Jude Parish activities. She's also the mother-in-law of a lady I work with. The Mass will be at St. Jude on Wednesday at 10am.

Is this Doug's mother?

[Campfire Girl]

Yes, she did have a son Doug - I don't know him, just his brother Bill because I work with his wife. Doug has a wife, Janice.

[zitro]

Doug went to school with us. I remember their father used to lay carpets. I think Bill would have graduated around '63. I think there is a sister in between there somewhere. Sorry to hear about her passing

[Campfire Girl]

We went to school with a Doug Elsey? Why don't I remember that? Did he leave before we graduated?

I have to check the graduation pic but if he did it would have been probably gone to Beacon school in Harper Woods.

I don't remember him either, CFG, so don't feel so all alone

He was in the choir, maybe he was a year behind us.
