I must have learned her name but forgot it long ago. I even played chess with her a few times. She was sweet and kind. I remember her living room being filled with old stuff, European stuff. It's nice to know now who she was and that she had an interesting life.<br />-Douglas DeaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470534517824573111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314999239853516008.post-35662335164426093042016-07-14T07:06:40.839-07:002016-07-14T07:06:40.839-07:00Thank you, Jason, for a wonderful story.

I remember all your family very well and had a nice visit with your dad at the Oak Hill Park Reunion. I asked about you and Amy. Only your younger sister was there.<br /><br />Thank you also for posting the obituary of my Uncle, Maurice Skoler. We were very close until 1981, when I moved to California. Your writing is excellent and I would like to read more.

I do recollect their grandma present at their house often but was clueless about her past. The Shartons were a wonderful family and I have many great memories hanging out at their house with our other "buddies" from Memorial, so it does not surprise me that Bertha would be so kind with the candy handouts.<br />Bill SiegelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314999239853516008.post-22626864544250212182012-06-25T10:17:02.514-07:002012-06-25T10:17:02.514-07:00What a wonderful story.
