I was just reading your posts and realized you and I came from the same home state, Michigan.
I was born in Highland Park, Michigan. It used to be a very nice area but not anymore. I remember those beautiful brick homes with basements that we used to live in.
My father who passed away about three years used to work for Standard Oil Company in Detroit before he went back to college to finish his PhD in psychology. Then we moved to Tampa, Florida and then to Winter Park, Florida (Central Florida).
My deceased mother did not finish her degree in history but she was very articulate in many different historical time periods.
Anyway, I just want to share this with you.
Blessings,
