Saw JFK on his swing through Detroit by the City Aiport. Another buddy worked at Quick Locksmiths, the owner and he were both firemen. I'll get the name.
We lived on the other side of Gratiot, between Gratiot and Gunston. First on Glenfield then on Wilfred. We lived there from I'll say 1961 until the late 80's. In those days you knew all the people on your block by name.
