Okay, now I guess I'm going to have to get my cousin in on this discussion. She lives in Colorado now, but she played piano for a dance studio in that area - and I'm wondering if it was Mrs. Blevins'. It would have been about 1959 or 1960. I do remember the candy factory - yum!! I'm pretty sure it was on Holmes - just north off St.Clair Ave - didn't that street become London Rd after you crossed St. Clair? It was just one block east of the street I lived on - Alhambra. Thanks everybody for the tips about the Collinwood HS website - I'll check it out. > > From: "LynneC13" <lynnec13@swbell.net> > Date: 2004/11/01 Mon PM 10:30:35 EST > To: OHCUYAHO-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [OHCUYAHO] Brett/East Clark/VA/Eaton Axle etc. > > Omigosh!
