I was raised in Birmingham until I left for college. I graduated from Berry High School in 1975. No family there at all now. I have quite a few stories as well (and fond memories). I'm so proud of being a southerner now, but in the '70s I wanted nothing more than to rid myself of the southern accent.
I'm proud to be from the NEW Alabama too! But I never did, nor do I now, have an accent.
I went to John Carroll, Silver went to Homewood, SilverSister went to Berry and would have overlapped you there. I worked at Jolly Ox in '79ish and then at the Eckerd Drug store right across the parking lot for a couple years as well.
