Smalltown South Lyon Episode1/12

[@jimcurtis569]

How wonderful to see some of my teachers! Especially Mr Streight who was my Geometry teacher and Cross Country coach. He used to haul us around to completions in his tiny RV. My family lived out on Four Lakes Drive off nine mile. 1965-1977. I would have graduated from SLHS in 1978 if we had not moved away. Thanks for these videos! I have subscribed and will be watching for the next episode.

Love this and SO happy you are making an effort to preserve the history of South Lyon. We purchased a historical home at 210 W Liberty built in 1916 and would love it if someone may know the history of the house such as it’s original owners. It is a bungalow so curious if it may have been a Sears Roebucks home. We have found newspapers in the walls from 1917, 1931 and 1974 in surprisingly good condition as well as other artifacts; a bottle cap from Pontiac dairy, a candy box, letters, a flour bag from a mill in Farmington, homework from a little boy (no last name) with an “F” likely hidden in a crack of the wall from his parents.

My family lived in South Lyon before the 1900’s. My parents (Tapp) had the Standard Station where the Market Place is now. I was born here, grew up and still live in the area. I know the individuals in your production and am looking forward to the next episodes.

[@smalltownin]

I think we knew your parents ... met at St. Joseph's? Could that be?

[@carolbentley4971]

@@smalltownin not parents but relative. Think related to uncle

[@ramprato]

Awesome! Our family moved to the area in 1967. I attended South Lyon schools K-12 and know a lot of the people in here talking. Look forward to next week's video! 👍👍👍

[@rebeccahall488]

Loved it! I know all these people. My family (Williams) has lived here since the 1930's, so these people were my teachers, principals, small-town business owners of places we all frequented. So glad to see you all! Thanks, can't wait for the next episode.

So many names I recognized…. First, my sister Susan, of course. But then Jaci Farrell (taught drama) Mr. Streight (taught geometry) Mr. Thomas (taught social studies) The Martins of Martins Hardware, the Showermans, Mr. Rochel (principal of Centennial Middle School) the Havelkas. Doug Wiseman worked at my parents’ carwash. Nice trip down Memory Lane! My maiden name is Bailo - not many of us living there anymore.

[@smalltownin]

Glad you enjoyed. Susan was fun to interview. 😊

[@ChristineHallAgeless]

I recognized a few too! It was so good to see Mr. Rockel. His wife was the best. Mr. Streight used to kick me out of his class all the time for talking. Ms. Farrell sent me to the principal's office because my skirt was too short. Haha. So fun.

[@mwingopoe7]

My family was here in 1937

[@smalltownin]

You probably know most of these historians. Thx for watching, please pass this on

[@margaretgib12]

You should ask when the Burtons came to South Lyon. They were the biggest family of South Lyon for years. Everyone was related.

[@smalltownin]

Isn't history fun

[@doctorgrewv]

Nice job. Only point I'd like to make is, you can't simulate small town feel, I live in a big town that thinks they are doing that, they aren't. I grew up in a small town/village, only way to get the feel is too actually be small. But the effort will at least help the culture to maintain something of a personal touch. Just my $.02

[@smalltownin]

Good point! And I see that happening.
