Vee, Has anyone told you lately that you are worth your weight in gold? Allow me to be the first,then. I am posting this to the list as I want a couple of people to see what I am saying. TO ELLEN: Guess I missed by a little bit when I thought the cemetery was on Niagara St somewhere near Portage Road. TO VEE: Didn't I tell you that I lived in Niagara Falls for a couple years as a teenager? I went to school at South Junior High School. I lived on Welch Avenue near 19th Street. I am quite sure that Spinner's was still going strong in the 60's......but the group I hung out with had no money so we hung out at the store behind the school. Or.....maybe that was behind the store that was behind the school. Thanks so much for the information. I will call the cemetery tomorrow. You all are a great group.
