er
dad came to visit her in Cincinnati, he's an old farmer from near Toledo.=
=
They were touring around Cincinnati and came upon the old Union Terminal.=
=
Apparently he started to cry. (Quite unusual for a very husky and tough 3=
00
lb farmer!) He had forgotten that he was shipped out of the Union
Terminal when he was a kid recruited into WWII. A lot of his friends
didn't return. He won't talk about his WWII experiences. I didn't reali=
ze
until I heard that story, that Union Terminal was a key departure site f=
or
WWII soldiers from the midwest. Lots of history in that old building.
Any chance you can forward those pics on to me?? I'd love to see them. =
I
never heard of the name Biederman while I was in Cincinnati. I wouldn't=
be surprised if the Biederman factory is still erect. There are lots of
very old building around the site of the union terminal still.
BTW, shantyboat doesn't refer to a boat on the Ohio does it. Are you a
river rat?
