The photo on the left and the one above are of the same scene in dfferent seasons. It depicts a Norfolk Southen Railroad trestle South of Ludlow. The Winter scene shows a long line of coal cars. The Summer scene is strange because it shows a coal fired locomotive followed by two diesel locomotives and a log line of passenger cars. Ludlow is about four miles from Cincinatti. |

Ludlow is a small community along the Ohio river and is dominated by nearby Cincinattii. While it is a pleasent place it's most apparent characteristic is its insignificance. Even its name fails to conjure up the slightest desire to investigate what it might have to offer. But it is sited alongside the Ohio River and our appartment was high enough to provide a grand view of both the river and the lights of Cincinatti. |

During my seperation from John, while in Erie, we managed to reconcile our differences through John's sincere, I believed, promise to reform. and decided to try to make a go of it in Ludlow. |

While in Ludlow my second child, Sean, was born. A small town like Ludlow had limited medical facilities so the birth actually took place in a Cincinatti hospital. |
 |
Sadly, it was no use. John and I just could not work it out. So once again the kids an I went back to Erie to live with my sister Carolyn. In Erie I evenntually took a job in an engineering firm.... and ultimately married the owner, Geme Hlifka and took up residence in nearby Ripley, New York. |
