Hey Doug you are getting close to my neighborhood with Granny Goodwitch. Granny Goodwitch was Chalmer Hayes, whose parents, Mont and ? Hayes ran a grocery there for as long as I can remember. They used to have the gas pumps that you pumped the gas up in the top in a glass with gallon markings on it and then it was gravity fed into your car. Chalmer was probably a 52 or 53 graduate, although I don't know for sure if he graduated from AHS. He went to military school for a while. I believe he has passed on. Just a piece of a block east of Granny Goodwitchs was the Old Orchard Drug Store. They had a great soda fountain. Hot fudge sundaes were superb!!!
Keep on a thinkin back.
