You and me both. I went to the country music club, The Barn? maybe, on a date, her choice. Small world tho', the couple who bought my parents' home kon Greenlawn were there.

If you went to St. Mary's, perhaps you knew the Perrys, Mike and Jim, and a few more.

Did you happen to see Kraftwerk at Nitro's? It was better known as Uncle Sam's for a while as a disco.

I grew up on Biltmore Street off West McNichols between Southfield and Greenfield Roads. I knew [[Earl)Michael Perry; I was his sweetheart when he died. I also knew Jimmy Perry, his older brother who was a member of the Knights of the Road motorcycle club, right around the corner from me. The others were Thomas, Donna, Jeffrey and Kathleen and their folks, Earl and Margaret.
