"In 1941, Mother Trefzger or 'Mama" recommended calling Dr. Dash....to inquire whether his 92 year old father (Mama's next door neighbor) would be interestied in selling his house to us. At first, Mr Dash wasn't at all interested in selling hi house however after a few weeks, his son (the Doctor) called and said his father had reconsidered and if he was going to sell, he didn't know anyone he would rather sell to than a 'Trefzger'."
Mom and Dad lived in 3444 Cheviot Ave. for the rest of their lives.
