	Marie said that there was a period of time when Bob Sr. came home and told the family about a little girl who waved to the cars from a big bay window at the corner of 23rd and Castro. He said he never saw her outside and thought that she was bedridden because she seemed to kneel at the window to wave. He thought that she was probably four or five. He said that she looked sad and sickly and told his children more than once that they should feel grateful that they were healthy and to stop complaining about whether or not they liked vegetables. (You know the way parents do go on!)

	Unfortunately, Bob Sr, died of a heart attack at the age of 48. How I wish I could have reminisced with him. It is my loss.		Unfortunately, Bob Sr, died of a heart attack at the age of 48. How I wish I could have reminisced with him. It is my loss.

	P.S. The more my husband and I talked about those early days the more we discovered. i.e..... As a boy, Bob lived at 225 Jersey Street, just a couple of blocks from where I lived. We found out that we used to go to the old Palmer and Castro Theaters on the same Saturdays. (Ten cents to get in and five cents for candy!) And my mother bought coal at the coal yard where his dad worked for awhile.. It was obvious that our karma was meant for us to meet, fall in love and marry 'til death we did part.		P.S.

	My mother-in-law, Marie Beban, loved to tell stories about the "good old days". She'd start on one story and would verbally meander through several. Sometimes it was difficult to follow her train of thought, but I found it fun anyway.		My mother-in-law, Marie Beban, loved to tell stories about the "good old days".
