englishwit – I posted a comment here but not sure what happened to it so here it goes again:
The family you remember is my dad’s family, the Richard family. My dad is Tom and his brothers were: Jerry, Bob, Ronnie, Jim, and Billie. He also had 4 sisters but not all lived in the house at the same time since there was such an age spread. I’ve heard him talk about the Beauregards (especially Bobby) as well as Mr. Abner who ran the corner store (he was very good to my dad’s family) and Jack from the dime store where my dad worked as a kid. My grandparents were Irma and Leo Richard. My grandma Irma as a fabulous baker so I am sure you were given some of her special home baked treats. 12th and Myrtle is what my dad still says. He talks about the Myrtle show all the time and what good times were had there. Well, I hope you see this comment. I’d love to know your name so I could tell my dad. He is 78 years-old now. He also went to Owen and Jefferson. My mom went to Cass Tech.
