Hi Kathy! Looks like we're the same age. I was also 15 at the time, about to enter my junior year at Detroit Catholic Central. We were living in the Fenkel (aka 5 Mile)and Schaefer area, so we weren't in the thick of it, but close enough to see the smoke. My most vivid memory is watching a column of tanks roll down Fenkel. Surreal. I lived in Detroit 'til '89 when we moved here to Central PA. My sister lives in Rochester Hills, so we go back from time to time. A few years ago we drove up Woodward through what used to be downtown. I say "used to be" because what we saw was a ghost town of boarded up buildings and grafitti. It was heartbreaking. I see you're still in MI. Where? Nice meeting and talking to ya! Paul
