    I remember going to Silverstein’s army surplus with my dad in the 50’s when I was a child; he served in the 100th Infantry Division in Germany during the war. I found an aerial photo of the area where you lived and I marked up the streets that I could identify but Sherwood Road has moved over the years. Do the images in the photo look familiar?Name:  Emerson projects 1.jpg
