Flint Photos: Winter Scenes from the Seventies
The backyard of my grandparents' house at 1515 Illinois Avenue with Hubie the dog.
Hubie in action again on Illinois Avenue next to the Wilson's convertible. Remember when shoveling snow seemed fun?

The gangs of Flint
There's no doubt you'd be terrified if you saw this gang of toughs coming for you on the mean streets of Flint in 1972.
From left to Right: Gordie Young, offering the same insolent look that caused him so much trouble with the nuns; Marcus Mahan, a Flint cop, last I heard; Charlotte "Becky" Mason, looking very stylish; and Todd, whose last name I can't remember, making the striped-shirt work for him. My dog, Hubie, is in front, most likely scanning the horizon for female dogs. All of us, excluding Hubie, attended Daniel O'Sullivan/St. Mike's at the time.

We're in the well-manicured backyard of my grandparent's house on Illinois Avenue, which is a reminder of how meticulous parts of Flint used to be. You can see a corner of Homedale Elementary in the background.
