We're waiting for Dave McAuliffe and cohorts to edit these and get them up there. Meanwhile, there is one vid and a bunch of pix on facebook. Look for "Generation Gap". Are you the same Sharon that lived on LaSalle Blvd, near 1st avenue?

Remember the red-painted concrete steps? One small correction, though. Andrew Ciastek is not my cousin! Just a longtime school friend. I saw Andrew a few years ago as he was passing through Michigan on business. A note about the Gap Reunion. We're headed into the final rehearsals, the song list is set, the set organization ... almost. We're all looking forward to this. It WILL be a blast.

Many moved to Verdun and NDG and some to the Point and later to Lasalle.shirleyb-h MSNhttp://msn-shirleyb-h.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-85929458921740250662008-05-23T18:06:00.000-07:002008-05-23T18:06:00.000-07:00Thanks for the response.

I used to take Piano Lessons at the same place as Alex (Violet Grant's) - I think it was on Second Ave, between Wellington and Verdun Ave. I still keep in touch with his cousin, Andrew Ciastek who is still a good friend. The last time I was at the #4 Legion was back in '79 or '80.
