Mother, Grandparents, Charles Manson and Brad Paisley walking the same neighborhood stteets; same school. Even though in a different era ,going to the same stores, bars that have been there for over 50 years still fascinates me. I almost forgot my Father went to school with Dean Martin in Wheeling, WV in the early 1930' they where 16 years old. They were on the same track team for 1 year till Dean moved to Steubenville, Ohio.
