So, I did a little sleuthing while waiting for a computer. When I was a kid, a very handsome body builder (calm down, DRMBarnum!) and his wife and son moved across the street from us. They were quite friendly, and whenever I watch DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, I think about our shirtless neighbor mowing his lawn and my mother and next-door neighbor having attacks of the vapours. Well, after about two years of living across from us, there was a huge brouhaha acros the Mason-Dixon line called Goldman Avenue: it's always been my belief that the neighbor lady had a hot affair with the man across the street and that my mother was the lookout. When my motherdied in 1994, I asked by Aunt Jenny about this quaint bit of 1950s suburbia, and she said to me, "Oh, no, dear, it was your mother having the affair." Well, I certainly can't ask my father, who still thinks my crazy harridan mother was closer to sainthood than Mother Teresa, and it's been over 40 years since the events, so I'm doing some Holmes&Watson work here.
Through the City Directories, I've tracked down Maurice and Mary Wise at 3004 Goldman Avenue and the year was 1957. So, I've also learned he was a graduate of Monroe High School in 1951, which puts him at a dating age for DRMBarnum, if Mr Wise is still alive. I now want to see if I can locate him through an internet source. If he's alive, I want to find out what happened from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
