Cincinnati

Michael was not keen at first about visiting Cincinnati , but it turned out to be a good visit.  We went to see the house on Atlantic Avenue- where the Civil War swords were found and met Jane who had lived in the house for 20 years.  

She and Michael talked about some if the neighbors that they both knew.  We found the Aulesboro house, but that one did not hold the same level of memories. 

The last place we visited was Withrow High School.  As we came up to the school, the president of the alumni association saw us and let us in!  Michael  was most pleased about seeing the great auditorium and beautiful library. The student population is only half what it was when the Tuttles were there. Jack, the alumni president , knew Joe and Jon- Michael's brothers.  This visit was much more emotional than we had anticipated!

We left the city and are now camping at Stonelick State Park.
