Mary Ellen, When I was about 5 my father was in City hospital with TB. Mom
being on aid for dependent children moved with my 2 sisters and I to the
Lakeview Terrace projects down past Washington St. They ran all the way to
the railroad tracks. We lived there until I was about to enter High School.
Do you remember the carnivals that St. Malachi's had on the tri-corner across
the street from them. We used to be able to go there with a few pennies and
have a wonderful time, even without parents to watch us. How times have
changed. We even had a Community Center there and had dances on the weekends
and craft classes. What good times. Those were. My Gr. Grandparents were
Irish, Their names were Bridget Walsh and William Kirk. They attended St.
Joe's but my Aunt and Grandmother attended St. Malachi's. I remember attended
First Communions of cousins etc. Have a good day. Marlene, N. Royalton
