before rogers place there was kelly street. the couple next door were both legally blind but were gainfully employed. their daughter, barbara, was a normal sweet girl. it was sorta' sad to think about their difficulties.
at this time my grandparents lived on the floor above us. later they moved to tiffany street. my grandmother took in "foster children" to supplement their income. i would like to report that being around women during my young life; my two aunts and all the young women my grandma took in, sometimes two at a time, i was never abused. how strange. and i was a cute kid.
being a mature five and a half, i recall lecturing barbara and a red headed girl about life. they listened intently to my views. that was the last time anyone paid attention to me.

"Colin Powell comes home to christen apartments - NYPOST.comSep 23, 2010 ... When Colin Powell returns to his home neighborhood in the south Bronx ... home was at 980 Fox Street, and then he moved to 952 Kelly Street. ..."
the kelly street address certainly was the same block i lived on and across the street from my building.
“I left the Bronx some 55 years ago, but the Bronx never left me,” said Powell to cheers and applause.
