Hello - My maiden name was Joy Gregoire. My family lived in Detroit during World War II. We left there and came back to our native West Virginia in 1947. I've been back to visit a couple of times, but that is all. We lived in two locations there - one on Senator Street or Avenue and the other on Church Street. I started kindergarten at Henry Ford Grade School in 1945. I carry pictures of these places in my mind's eye. I would love to communicate with someone who is familiar with these places. Also, I am looking for an obituary for Jane Melchior. She was my mom's best friend during those years and they stayed in touch until my mom died in 1975. At that time, Jane was living in River Rouge, Wayne County. She was married to Don Melchior. They had one daughter. I know when that daughter's birthday is, but will withhold that info for security purposes. From the Social Security death index, I believe Jane Melchior died on 25 Jan 2004. Her last known residence then was River Rouge. And the age was right - so I believe I have the right person. Joy Stalnaker
