  	Grandpa was away in the service and was a chaufer for the General at the recruiting station in Boston Mass Navy. Grossie lived with Aunt Ede when mom was born. She was born in Union Twnship and there was no hospital and still isn't today in 2018, so we think that mom was born at home.

  	The day Rog decided to run string all over the house my folks had goneout for the evening (don't remember where they went) and when they gotback they couldn't even get in the front door.  They didn't seem madbut they went out to sit in the car while we cleared out the string. We didn't do that trick again.  Did your Mom ever tell you about thetime Father short sheeted all our beds?  That must have taken him along time to do that.  He did mine, Dot''s, Poot's & Em's.  I don'tremember where we would have all been gone out of the house so he coulddo that.  It was quite a surprise to us because he didn't do stuff likethat usually. Aunt Joan emailed this to me on June 25, 2019

  Travel (Family)	1949	Livingston, Essex Co, New Jersey
  	Aunt Laura traveled with them also. **I have hand written notes of this!! Somewhere! Feb 17, 2019 Just got off the phone with Auntie Em. She said, "Rog was very sick on that trip". She said, "while they going over the 'Rockies' that he was so ill he was lying on the floor of the car". And while they were at Aunt Dode's, she (Em) went downstairs to tell the adults that, "there was something wrong with Rog, he was really sick". She said, "he was really having trouble breathing". At the beginning of the trip as they were going through San Bernardino, I believe they would have been traveling on Foothill Blvd, at this time, 1949, the 210 Freeway had not been built, the 'swamp cooler' broke and dumped all the water onto Grossie. They stayed at what Auntie Em called the TeePee Motel, which is actually the Wigwam Motel at 2728 Foothill Blvd., Rialto, California To read more about this trip go to 'Clan Lore' website (http://clanlore.com) and click on 'Our Clan's Lore' Witness Role: Witness: [I88] Emily Adele MORROW Witness Role: Witness: [I85] Roger Ashby MORROW

  	Not sure if they had a honeymoon or not. Mom borrowed the money from Uncle Rog to pay for dad's divorce from Rayne Mom said when Grossie, Grpa & Em took her to the airport, as she walked out to the plane on the tarmac, if she had turned around she wouldn't have left. Dad had gambled the night before mom arrived. Playing "payday stakes" he lost his car, so they had no car when mom got there. I'm not sure if he lost his whole pay for the month or not.

• Notes

  My mom used to say "goodly" for food recipes that she thought were good. June 2015 Today I'm listening to "all" the music in my database on shuffle. One of the CD's is American Military Band, and when the Marine's Hymn came on, I was reminded that my mom loved listening to marching band music. Ever since she told me that, I was about 40 when she told me, I love to hear the marching tunes myself. Leilani 12/15/2005 Today I was working on a big remodel or house addition, as my Uncle Hank used to call them, the stucco guys were outside nailing on the lathe with country music blaring. Doris was into country, and we used to talk about how it had changed over the years. Today an old Christmas song came on and I felt a little sad and reminiscent at first, but by the time it was over I was almost giggling out loud. When Doris's husband Bill died we moved her down from Oregon to California and it was decided that we should build her a little "Mother-in-Law" House on our land. The only problem was, - Me and Leilani hadn't finished building our house yet and we were still living in a 32 foot trailer. So Doris bought herself a little trailer about 15 foot long and we parked it on the edge of our driveway, and that is where she lived until we finished our house. She spent a lot of evenings visiting us in the "Big Trailer" and during the days leading up to Christmas there would be cups of Christmas cheer and a lot of laughing all around. When the time came for Doris to go home to the "Little Trailer" it would be quite the event of bundling up for the journey, well, it was usually close to 30 degrees. Today, I could still hear me and Brian belting out "Grandma was run over by a reindeer walking home from our house Christmas Eve" I could picture Doris standing there by the door with her big coat, gloves, scarf and snow boots heading out for her trek--all of 20 feet, grinning and saying "you guys" She was always such a good sport. I realized that was a very good Christmas memory. Merry Christmas Doris Randy Stories my mom told me. When I was 1-2 years old, my mother would take the bus. Because we lived on base, there were a lot sailors, getting on and off the bus as well. She said every time one would get on, I would gleefully holler out, "Daddy". Of course she was so embarrassed, to have everyone on the bus looking at her, especially the sailor who didn't know her from Adam! At least once while driving across the runway in Hawaii, in our Cadillac convertible, mom had picked up too much speed and had my brother George holding down the roof to keep it from flying open.
