Opinion: My mother made beautiful music with my dad, for her family, and for the community [Opinion]
She also mentioned how, when my dad’s shoulder would brush against hers, it felt like magic sparks. They married in 1936 when she was 19 and he was 25. For their honeymoon, they drove to Niagara Falls and New York City, the farthest either had been from Ohio. My mother loved the home my dad built in 1939 in Kent, Ohio, which featured a bay window for her piano, and she taught piano and took classes at Kent State.
My mother read all of Zane Grey’s novels about the American West and suggested the southern route to San Diego, where they could visit college friends before driving up the coast to Seattle. Trips down dusty side roads to see Native Americans were not what the novels had described, but it was a great adventure. In Arizona, they stopped at a roadside stand for fresh orange juice — a fateful decision.
After the war ended, the Baby Boom began and my mother had two more children — a second son and eventually a daughter — me. She made up fascinating bedtime stories and filled our home with music. Family recitals included piano and violin, but those evenings when my mother accompanied my dad singing “Because Of You” or “Roses of Picardy” or “God Is Ever Beside Me” were the very best.
