Mrs. Crosby was my best friend's Mother. I have spent many happy times at their house in the fifties, when we were in High School at Ethel High. She and her first husband were the owners and operators of The Ethel Cafe. We had many good times there before and after the Ball games. She always had a Happy face for everone. I loved her.
