Accident at Magnolia and Ainslie, 1982
Based on the buildings in the background, I want to say that this is the building on the north side of the intersection. Anyone along there remember this happening? Currently on eBay here: item 280731352725.
I think it was 1964 or 65 that there was a terrible car accident on the outer drive near montrose in which 6 uptown kids were killed when their car hit a tree. They were all in their mid to late teens. They had all attended Stewart School at one time and I knew two of them. Larry Blackburn and Wanda Napier. I think the driver's firdt name was Kelly. I don't remember his last name. The other three I think were two girls and a guy whose names I don't recall. does anybody remember this accident?
That accident is not the one where Kelly and the others were killed. They died when the car they were driving on the outer drive spun out of control during rain and yes they all died
I believe the driver of that car was Leonard Stafford,he was in one of my shop classes at Senn H.S. it was a horrific accident.I think they all cut school that day.
