Omigosh! I went to Mrs. Blevins also. Embarrassed myself in front of Santa one year. Got so flustered by his presence that I ran off the stage! And Jack Frost donuts...my dad would bring them home after night school while studying on the GI Bill. My mother wouldn't let me have Novocain either. Told me it would teach me to brush my teeth better. I went to Dr. DeMarco. I don't remember a chocolate factory on Holmes, but I think the L. Baker Chocolate Company was on London. Mmmmmm...their chocolate covered cashews were to die for! The Houston, Texas, area is sure a long distance from that area, but it's like it's right next door in my mind. Hopefully Brush High School Alumni will have a 40th class reunion next year so I can make it a plan to come home next year!

I can connect with almost every one of them: My father worked at Eaton Axle from 1943 to 1974 when he died at 54. He was a toolmaker by trade and was "on supervision" (a foreman) for the last 10 yrs. We lived on Elm Avenue in East Cleveland, near Coit and E. 152. I went to Chambers for kindergarten before we moved to E. 185 off St. Clair. Then I went to Nottingham school, which was torn down abt 1960 for I-90 to come thru. My cousin attended East Clark for a couple of yrs in the early 1950s. She lived on Earlwood, off St. Clair. My dentist was Dr. Koplow, on St. Clair at the corner of Earlwood. I never had novocaine when I got fillings as a little kid--my current dentist was horrified when he heard this. (Speaking of dentists, how about the chocolate factory on Holmes Avenue? The parents of a girl in my Brownie troop bought it in the 1950s and still own it. I remember a great Brownie field trip to tour the factory.) The streets bordering Brett were Royal and Ruple, and St. Clair and Kipling. One of my best friends from high school lived across the street from Brett on Royal. We went to Sacred Heart (East Cleveland), sister school to VA, graduating in '65. Brett is now either condos or apartments, don't recall which. Also don't recall if they tore down the building and built new, or rehabbed the old building. As a little bitty kid I went to Mrs. Blevins' dancing school on Euclid Avenue in East Cleveland. I think I didn't like it. But I did love Jack Frost Donuts across the street--we would get the glazed donuts right out of the oven. I also loved the East Cleveland Farmers market at E. 152 and Woodworth--luckily it has been revived and I still get back. I am currently living in Murray Hill (23 yrs), the last place I ever expected to live, a nice little Irish girl from the 'burbs. Finally got to know the Holy Rosary girls I went to high school with. I do like Cleveland.
