Visitor

Mike Sullivan visited Yesterday................His family bought 28 Fair Street in 1945..............sold it , in 1969.

He thinks they paid $5k for it ....sold it for $14k..........!

His dad was in the war.......He then came home......bought this house.......and started a Jitney Business in the city......
His mom, worked on Goat Island, during the war......working on torpedos....3 out of 7 kids, still home !

Mike remembered a house full of kids and family...he was the baby....neighbors were close and closer...family was everywhere in the city....grandma a block away....the Convent, was across the street....a gas station was at the corner.....grade school was next door, for all the Sullivans[St Mary's]........High School, just down the street ......Grandma's 80th birthday was HERE TOO!............there were neighbors sharing the back yard TOO...not Memorial Blvd, like Now........And the Harbor was in clear view from the Front Porch...[as we suspected]

We got an hour's worth of stories.........!!!.........He promised pictures by mail, when he gets home to Delaware......and maybe a return visit to Stay with us
