Our Home

My three sisters, Michele, Lynn, Pam and I grew up in a house purchased by our parents in 1949 in a subdivision called "Old Hollywood". The address was:
9603 49th Place, College Park, MD.
Our town was not too far from The University of Maryland. My father was an electrician and had worked with the contractor and builder on the houses in that subdivision. The price of the house at that time was $6,500; rencently that house was sold for $350,000.

In January of 1950 we moved into our home. Pam was not born until later. Previously, my two sisters and I had been living in an apartment at Garfield Courts in Hyattsville, MD. I went to kindergarten and for half a year attended first grade there.
