what a surprise to find this website. the pictures and so many familiar names have brought back so many memories. it makes me realize how lucky we were to grow up in such a great place in a much simpler time. there are a few things I may be able to straighten out for you. after Mike West left Columbian Playground, Tom Murphy became head supervisor. that was around '53. the head groundskeeper was Mr. Duffy who was followed by Neal. I've forgotten his last name. the cop at Springdale & Grove was Emile Cursione. And yes, God, I remember Sr.Rita and her pointer and her "summer work" which I didn't begin doing until the day before school resumed. oh btw, I don't think that woman was Izzy's wife. it was his sister. and the soda fountain across from the Ideal Mkt was Jeroux's (sp?) I can't believe I'm remembering all this. if anyone remembers me please drop a line. I'd love hearing from you.

I don't remember you but you may have been in my brother Jim Robinson's class? You are correct in remembering that the corner store was run by a brother and sister.
