John and Sharon and families, So sorry to hear of your loss. The original McKinley street families are coming to a end. What a wonderful childhood we experienced growing up on McKinley St. My children and grandchildren now hear the story of seeing my first TV show in your living room on that tiny TV screen. We have come a long way. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love and sympathy, Janice
