Hi Jen,
Sorry your comment didn’t show right away. For some reason sometimes I have to approve them, but I’m still not sure why. I’m glad you liked the website. Call me when you feel better, or even if you don’t and you just want to talk.
Love Julie

Julie,
I just wanted to let you know that your website is great. You have some very wonderful pictures and wonderful letters from your great grandmother to your grandmother. I have enjoyed them very much.

Your mother told me about your site and I have wanted to visit it sooner, but kept forgetting to get the site address from your mother.

I hope that you and your husband are well. Take care of yourselfs ok?

Love ya!

Hi Melody,
Thanks for sharing your memories here. I haven’t been good about updating lately, but in my photo album I have quite a few pictures of your family and mine when you were kids.

Thanks for stopping by – I’m glad you liked the site!

Hi Julie. Would still like to meet you and yours and show you some of the Miles St. items. I would love for you to have some of these items from your family’s history.

  RORY VINSON !!!
  
  Hey Rory, My name is Leslie Jackson. I grew up on E. Cross St. just across the alley. We went to school together and I was just a year or two older than you, I was Michael’s age.
  
  I used to play at the house on Miles St. when we were little tikes ‘[bout 12 or 14. 1964 -1966. I never knew the house was built by Benjamin Bradley my Uncle.
  
  As a matter of fact, (and I’m ashamed to admit this) I never knew my grandmother’s sister lived just around the corner!. Small world.
  Contact me please. I would love to hear from you. If I don’t ring a bell with you, a couple of brothers were Craig, and Dwight.

    Hey Leslie, was that your mom that used to holler “Chuckeeee”? We used to play “spot-light” after dark and hide in the trees? Is that you?

I got lost reading these engrossing letters. What a neat project! My wife is way into family history and I love the old pictures and letters with slices of their life. Who knew the “boring” details of their daily lives (what they ate, who they visited, how they entertained themselves, etc) could be so interesting to others.

thanks for posting these.

Hi Miner – I thought that was you yesterday!

Thanks for reading; I still have a ton of these left, but as you can see I ran out of steam quite a while back. Maybe one of these days I’ll get back to it. It does make you wonder what future generations would find interesting about our lives today, though.

Another cool thing is we’ve actually managed to get in touch with some distant relatives through this site. It’s pretty amazing how huge this family tree really is!

Hi,
I know this will sound kind of strange, but I’m actually looking for a friend that I used to go to highschool with in Federal Way, Washington, and I thought that you might just be that person. I’m hoping that my research has paid off, ha ha. Anyhow, please let me know asap. I’d really appreciate it! It would be fun to be in touch again if you are who I think you are. Take care!

Hi Dominique!

I sent you an email, but thought I’d mention it here in case it ends up in a spam filter or anything.

It’s great to hear from you!

Hello,

I live in Ypsilanti and I contacted you a few years ago. I am a descendant of Asher and have been doing some genealogical research on the family for about 15 years.

I think I spoke to Elyce before and would like to make contact with her again. Unfortunately, I lost the email address. I have an Aunt that would enjoy getting in touch with someone from the Bradley/Sherman/Wyatt side of the family as would I.

My side of the family concerns Martha Day. She was Lillian (Day) Bradley’s sister. Both are Asher Aray’s Great Granddaughters.

I have been in contact with Carol Mull after she wrote her book on the underground railroads in Michigan and am in the process of submitting a pedigree to some Historical groups.

If anyone would like to contact me I would love to add you to my research efforts.

  Hi Leslie,
  
  To be honest I’m not sure what my mom’s email address is these days, as she very rarely uses it. However, I’ll let her know about your research, as I’m sure if she’s able she’d love to be a part of it! As for myself, while it would be interesting I think I’ll have to watch from the sidelines, as I now have a very active toddler and one more on the way.
  
  Thanks, and I hope everything goes well with the submission!

I have a phone number that someone gave me about three years ago and it is no longer in service. I believe her name was Elyce in Spokane, Washington. My Aunt (80 years old) would love to contact someone from the Lillian (Day) Bradley line.

Have you met or talked with Carol Mull? She a founding member of the “Freedom Trail Commission” here in Michigan.

Julie,

I finally took a deep breath from some of my research and took a detailed look around your site. You have done an incredible job in assembling the information contained here.

Kudos to both You and Elyse.

It was joy sending you the photos and conversing with you. I hope we can meet someday in the great Northwest. I LOVE THAT PLACE.

I lived in Lewiston, Idaho for a little while and hated to leave.

Thanks, Leslie! Unfortunately, it’s been quite a while since I’ve had a chance to add any more updates; there are still quite a lot of letters from my grandmother and her family. Maybe some day I’ll have the chance to get back to it, but with the little one right now and one more on the way, it’ll probably be a while.

It would be great to meet sometime. I live in Arizona, so I don’t get back to the NW very often, either, but I do miss it

Hi Julie. We check your website and think of you and your family often. It’s been almost two years since we visited. Wow…..

Hi Rory. It has been a while, and a busy couple of years. My mom just got married today! It’s nice to hear from you – I hope you and yours are doing well

Rory Vinson,

You remember well. It was my Aunt Charlotte that used to Holler for her son “Chuckie” They lived next door to us on Cross Street. Chuckie was a real character. He used to get me in trouble a lot. He could dream up some tall tales. That house burned to the ground in 1968. My grandmother Martha (Day) Jackson lost a wealth of family information and memorabilia.

I spent my summer days at Prospect Park playing baseball, and hanging out. In the winter; ice skating on the tennis courts. I remember playing “capture the flag” at twilight, and Hide-go-Seek after dark. Remember “Four Hills” in the winter?

It’s good to hear from you. Is your brother Mike still around? We played little league baseball together, I don’t know which team he played with. I will have to dig into my scrapbook and find out.

I remember one day when I was at your house and your dad came home. After a few minutes, he called us into the house where he had set up a reel-to-reel tape recorder and played some music for us.

As a result of my genealogical research of Asher Aray, this blog came up and has been a blessing to me. I learned of the life of my great aunt Lillian (Day) Bradley from this site. I knew the names but nothing of the family.

My Great-grandfather Herbert Day had the house on Miles St. built for his daughter Lillian.

I found out that Lillian’s husband Benjamin Bradley was a lumber inspector (from a census record) and I’m guessing that the house was “built like a rock”.

Enough for now. Take care of your yourself.
