Mike, I doubt that you will remember me, but we lived with my Uncle Fred and he rented from your grandmother Mrs. Maitland on Elm Street when I was 7 or 8 years old. One of my fondest memories is of Marty piling all of us in the car and taking us to McKenzie ballpark to the baseball games. I guess that is where I get my love for baseball. If your mom was still living she would remember me, not sure if Peal or Gladys are living but I know for sure they would remember me. I still have not so fond memories of Harry catching a black widow spider in a jar. Do you recall that??? May God be with you and your family.
