“Oh Lord, did I read this correctly? some poor soul still LIVES in Midland? I lived there from 12 to 18..graduated from there, in fact...lived on Applewood. Most of the people I'm still in contact with hated Midland...it was so clicky, based on your father's position in Dow...I used to run away from home and hide at Ted Doan's house who was, at that time, the president of Dow Chem..mom didn't DARE call me there...perfect! His son was my age but it was his daughter I was friends with...I've been back once since I left the States in 1969...trees are bigger, Dow Gardens have become a tourist destination instead of the private land I used to walk through sometimes, on my way home from school.”

I go to the library a lot, so the next time I'll try to locate the article for you.
