Richard- I sure know how work can get in the way of life! Too bad we can't just do what we want and still get paid. Oh well. A friend and I stopped at the Whaley house a while ago and judging by that address, I think 512 would have been before the U of M campus. I could be wrong and either way gone is gone but I think seeing the Whaley house, I have an idea of the type of house my grandfather had. He has been described as "a prominent citizen", and otherwise successful man of his time. He was the editor or publisher of the Flint Democrat among other newspapers and also lived in Saginaw and Bay City. What's strange to me, I remember as a child my dad telling me at one time it was an all day trip to go to Flint. Since my dad traveled a lot in his business, I just figured he went to Flint on business but until 1937, he had a sister-in-law there, his half-brother, William Clark Mather, having died several years earlier. It's funny how those old memories fit into the genealogy puzzle years later. Thanks again.
