There were a number of people who worked at NYCRR. My grandfather was a shipping clerk for the NYCRR. My family was part of the migration to South Euclid. Not that far up the road, but a world apart! Thanks for all the memories you stirred up!

I graduated from 6th grade in 1953 and was at Collinwood for 7th grade only in 1953-54 school year (what were we called then - - greenies, I think??) I lived on Alhambra Road (the little girl who lived next door to me went to a Catholic school, but cannot remember either her name or which school - I do remember how I envied her cute little school uniforms!) I must have passed that little store at the corner of 156th and Holmes many times. My sister and I often walked down Holmes from St. Clair to 152nd - crossed over and continued down Saranac to Aspinwall - on our way to Grandma's house on E. 141st, where my double first-cousin lived (our mothers were sisters and our fathers were brothers). My grandfather was an engineer on the NYCRR and walked to work at the Collinwood yards - and my dad worked at Eaton Axle for about 35 years, on East 140th. I remember how fortunate we were to be the neighborhood gathering place, both on Alhambra and on East 141st - both our home and that of my grandparents adjoined vacant lots, which provided great places for all the kids to play! My parents built a home in Chesterland (Geauga Co) and we moved out there the year I turned age 13. You could almost call Chesterland "New Collinwood" - there were so many families from the area that moved out there. Thanks for sharing the trip down Memory Lane - I am new to the list and was very surprised to get such immediate response from somebody who was from the neighborhood. If anybody has a photo of the old Brett school, I'd dearly love to have a copy. Sincerely, Judy in Georgia --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
