I grew up as a neighbor to the Ross family. For many years I lost contact but connected again Evelyn at her job in Warren County Career Center and also at her father“s funeral.
It looks like my old friend dale is the lone survivor of the Ross family. I hope Dale is doing well and will see my email address to make a contact.
