Memoirs of a Redhead

I won’t try to claim to know all there is about the history of Detroit, but I did finally learn a little something about it a couple months ago.  40 years ago "the Detroit riots" took place.  They started on a Saturday night-July 23, 1967.  When I first started working…

Tonight I hung out with some friends from work, at Mr. B’s in Royal Oak.  It was Owens’ (the other redhead’s) birthday.  It was fun-not the wild crowd this time around:)  The girl sitting next to me is Candice.  She joined us in May as our new Office Manager at…
