It was around the area of Valleywood and Wilmington and featured various singers and bands which I believe were from the area. I had a house a few streets behind and could hear the noise over there llike it was in my front yard. Does anyone remember a local singer named Jeri Diamond? I think she had a recording or two that did well. She eventually moved to Florida and have no idea if she pursued her singing or just fell off the planet. Anybody know?

I well remember the Wilmington House South...especially that very disco, flashing light dance floor. It was one of the better clubs around town.
Jeri Diamond grew up a few doors down from me on Nordale in Belmont in the 50's. Her real name then was Jeri Broadstock, I seem to recall. I've no idea what became of her, but like you, would be interested to know.

Can't believe Olds that I lived on the next street over on Glaser Dr. We bought the house there in 67-68 and lived there raising 3 children and divorcing in 1989 and moving to Chapel Hills apts until moving back to Dayton. How I missed running into you with all the bike riding we did and tracking down missing kids is a mystery. We lived in the block houses and most of the rentals on Kingswood would have been the first block of the street also. Small world for sure.

Oh, my. Dhoertt, she has changed a bit since I last saw her, but I suppose half a century tends to cause a bit of change. Was her name Broadstock then or Diamond?
