Got house ready for visit of Bob & Jean Ebert & Evanine Kirby – Bob’s sister. They were neighbors on Ballentine Ave – 1927-1930. We went to a party together about 1929 and daddy said I had to be home by 9 (!!). So Bob walked me home – amidst my protests and said “I feel for you but can’t reach you” – I thought that was terribly sophisticated.
Bob has been an engineer in Cleveland area since about 1943 – designed equipment & with a coal handling firm now on a “consulting” basis after “retiring”. Very sharp & good looking yet. He was my “crush” when I was Dave’s age now.
Served home baked apple pie. Jean is pianist – They have 2 children & have started a concert series in Chesterland. Have 1 ½ acres there. Really enjoyed their visit.
