I have many fond memories of playing with Phillip LaVoy as a child !! We'd strung tin can telephones between our bedrooms to talk to each other, We lived in 2 story "twin duplexes", next door to each other on East Main Street, he lived in the top floor and I lived in bottom floor. We'd go to Malcheff's Grocery Store to get the orange creates to build bird houses with.
I still remember his Grandfather Blouch (late 1940's) and riding in the back of his pick up truck, one time to take a load of trash over on Dixie Hwy, to a LaVoy relative who lived on Michigan side of the Ohio State Line. who owned a store there and he had a large field behind his story, where we dumped the stuff, in a pit. I also remember when Phil's Uncle R. Harland Blouch was killed in an auto accident while up Northern Michigan deer hunting in 1953, when he crashed his brand new 1953 Chevy, and his grandfather died the following week !!
As kids, Phil and I used to make corn cob pipes and we'd smoked corn silk in them !! He also had a 1st baseman's mitt while I had an old "hand me down" catchers mitt and he used to let me used his 'neat' mitt once in awhile !! Phil also had a Boy Scouts book that he would loan to me and I would spend hours reading that and we used to set his two man pup tent up at his Grandfather Blouch back yard. His parents also used to own a building lot on South Park Drive at Temperance and they used to plant a small garden there and Phil and I used to go over there, eating up all of the watermelon planted there.
If my memory is correct, Phil graduated from High School at the end of my Freshman year of high school and he married Norma Masters, who was chosen in her Senior year as the County Red Feather Queen !! After he married, they lived on West Washington Street, but were too cheep to buy the Monroe Evening News, which I delivered on that street. By 1960, he built his home on his parents building lot on South Park Drive. I don't know when he moved to LaSalle either, as I was myself was getting married about that time.
Philip lived in Erie, MI.
