September 1979: Kindergarten Class


I attended Lincoln Park Elementary through 6th grade.   My developmental kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Blue. She used to always favor the boys for some reason.      Some of the kids in my class were:  Andy Rush, Brendon Depoy, Dan Burlingame, Greg Novak, Denise Anderson, Dionne Tomorsky, and Aaron Tracy.  I pretty much went through grade school with all of them.

Summer 1979: Mackinac City/Mackinac Island

Mom and dad took me on a vacation to Mackinac Island, Mackinac City, Sault Ste. Marie, St. Ignace, and Taquamenon Falls. I remember taking a boat by the falls and there were so many mosquitoes which drove me crazy. We all wore hooded sweatshirts.


I loved the fudge we got on Mackinac Island. I laughed at the horse poop all over the streets.  I was not used to seeing that on the roads. There were no cars on the island, which was quite nice.


Mackinac City was full of shops and restaurants, which was nice to check out.
