about 2 years old until I married and we moved to a small nearby Cuyahoga County apartment and then to a Lake County condo two years later. Both of our folks and my brother never left their respective first home. I graduated from public schools and the community college in Dayon; DH graduated from Collinwood HS and graduated from an 18-month IT "corporate" education program in downtown Cleveland before there was such a thing as community college in town. There he learned COBOL but shuffled a punch card/tape system at Cleveland City Hall before he got his GREETINGS! letter from the Army.

Me too! Living in a close East Side burb, we'd ride "down the hill" to Euclid Ave, then use a transfer. Backseat Driver Nov 2023 #2
