Did your dad work on the power plant? My great-grandfather was Elbert
Bradley Hacker. He came from Clay County to work on the power plant. He
was a boilermaker. I went to Taylor High and we played Ross all the time in
football and basketball. How long did your parents live in Cleves? I bet
they knew some of the family somewhere along the line.
