Jean Steele and her Mother Ruby

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. The other picture is a picture of Ruby visiting us in our apartment and I'm the dirty little kid beside her. I wonder why she 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.
