  • Yes to all your questions- I'm so surprised and excited to hear from you!! Believe it or not, we met and spent family time together when my parents (Harry and Janet) were still in Michigan. I remember family gatherings at someone's house (don't remember whose) with your family and Christine and Nan Schuster, and I even remember seeing and knowing Aunt Pat before she left for the west coast. I don't know if any of that sounds familiar to you- I was probably just 5 yrs. old or so and I'm 58 now. Wow...alot of years have passed!
    
    After Dad died (2005) I spent the better part of 2006 staying with my mother in North Carolina, and eventually she went to live with Jeff and his wife in Alexandria Virginia. I spend alot of time with them on weekends and holidays, and in fact recently we were reminiscing (through photos, which Mom loves to do periodically) and we came across some pictures and letters that you and your Dad sent within the last 5-7 years maybe?
    
    As I grow older I especially regret the distance that kept the extended family from getting to know one another. Please let me know where you are and how your life has gone. I know you're married and have children (grown by now I guess) but I know little more. And please tell me about your Dad.
    
    Sincerely,
    
    Your cousin Mary Lou

Excerpt from link to Book on Detroit Below (search Cork Town)

"It is in this manner that old Detroit, the backbone of our ancient

community, has solved its social problems concerning those who

came here in the long ago as "furriners."

Detroit has been a melting pot for almost two and a half cen-

turies. When first they came here we had Dutch Town, meaning

the vast east side German settlement and Cork Town, home of the

Irish on the west side. And, of course, there were the French and

the Belgian and the Hungarian and the Italian and other "towns."

But, except for the newcomers of the last generation, these are

all gone now. They gather from all over the city and its environs

various meetings but the sentiment is for their fathers and

mothers and their forebears rather than any national ties.

I know one fine Irish citizen born in Cork Town whose mother

and father were born in Dublin. He married an east side German

girl whose parents were born in Munich. One of his two sons

married a French girl, another married a Belgian and his daughter

married an Italian. And their children are reaching an age when

they will soon be seeking mates. That is Detroit and that is the

greater part of America." p. 295
