In the early 1950's my Uncle Bill Curl took his family, along with myself, to visit Opals sister, the Oscar Rambo family in Mesa, Az. at Easter time. I was 10 yrs old and remember Oscar took all us boys to the car races. I had never seen a sliding glass door before and walked into it while it was closed. We all got an Easter Basket with a plastic egg with a silver dollar in it. I'll always remember that time I spent with the Oscar Rambo family. My mother is Uncle Bill's sister.
My cousin from Ohio sent me the obituary that was in the Marion paper. My condolences to Oscar's family
