The City-Cleveland

The family bought a house on Highland Drive in Cleveland. John had graduated from Rochester and was working at Western Automatic. His company had obtained a deferment for him, but he decided to register for the draft so he could get his service obligation over with. He went into the Counter-Intelligence Corp and was stationed in Pittsburgh. This is how he met his beautiful wife Marge. I’ll let him tell the details of that romance.

So now we’re back in Cleveland where it all started. Three members of the family are in the service. Pat is a gunner on a B-52?, stationed in Japan and flying missions over Korea. He could have avoided service altogether because of his asthma, but he wanted to be in the Air force.
