Did you know a Danny Simmons that lived right down the street between where your Grandparents lived and where I lived on College st. It would have been mid 50's, I have been trying to find out what happened to him for my brother as they were great friends, and he has always wondered what happened to him. His family eventually moved away. Were you by any chance related to him?
