1. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
I'm just rendered virtually speechless by the stuff that's going on in this country right now.

4. Pershing made the cut
I graduated from Pershing and taught there as a sub for a year.

Curious about Osborn. It's a newer school.

6. Cooley High???
So sad -- remember it from way back when -- it is (was) important to Detroit's school system. Probably some famous grads, let's hope they speak out.

And yes, I am a Michigan geezer.
