Born in Rochester NY Dec 1949. John Marshall High School

My mother graduated from (and lived near) Marshall in '43 or '44. She married and lived in the NYC area. We would come up to Rochester on vacation and she was always so proud of Rochester - especially all the places you named.
Then, in 1964 (two weeks before the riots), we moved from NY to the town of Greece and it really was a great place to live and raise kids.
And then the Great Northern Migration got going - and the rest is history.
