1987. Jean Steel and her mother Ruby Steel at my
parents 50th Anniversary. Ruby's and her
husband Pete Steel owned and operated Steel's Grocery next to the Clay
Homes. I could throw a rock from our
apartment and shatter a window in their home in back of the store. I came close to almost doing just that. Actually I threw a hand full of gravel at the
window of Jean and Helen steel's
playhouse behind the house behind the store and breaking it.
I remember
getting into trouble for doing it.
Here is a
picture of Ruby visiting us in our apartment
and I'm the dirty little kid beside her. I look about 3 years old, that would make the picture about 1944.
I wonder why Ruby is visiting? Probably to collect for
a broken window.
Remember,
the last Friday of February the Marietta Museum of History will continue their
series of "Remember When..." and will have a panel discussing he low rental projects of
Marietta, including the Clay Homes.
Check with
the Museum to make sure I have the date right.
