There have been many secrets about my dads family that were not going to be shared until after several people died. If you are looking for more information I would be happy to help you. Bob and Lorraine moved here to California after they left Michigan and lived in the same town as us. It was my dads desire to learn more about his family as some of the past only started to really come out when Lorraine was on her death bed. He and his brother Herb were there with her in the end. Bob later moved to Oregon where he lived with his son Herb until he died a few years later. My dad had started to look for his real father and knew very little information about him. I believe he did say that his REAL father was Harold Stamper. Also, my dad's adoption changed his legal name as well. If you have any info, perhaps we can share and piece together this master puzzle... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Using Mapquest.com and 3900 Trumbull, it appears there are a lot of vacant lots there.
