On the day the riots began, he had just started his vacation and he and mom were on their way back from Windsor when he saw the skyline filled with smoke. Since they were planning on going up north to their cottage, he took mom up there and dropped her off then returned to Detroit and called in to his Lieutenant and informed him that he was available if needed. He waited for three days but never got a call so he headed back up north to finish the vacation.........
I was a Redford High graduate. The Red and Gray! I knew someone from U of M who went to Cass Tech. He would have been a 1970 graduate.
