Michele, I remember the Ervins and your Aunt Merle, but I cannot remember the Ervins names. My Dad worked at Stamper's Garage and I think Mr. Ervin did, too. Or maybe he drove one of the trucks. It seems to me that Merle's first husband was named Tom who died young and then she married, was it Howard, Stamper?
