Ray Wilson & Al Wilson Jr., 1977 Part 4

Part 4 is a four way conversation about family heirlooms and who should get it and so on. Not the most elevated of conversations perhaps but one I would guess many of us have been part of. The meaning that personal property of the ones we knew and loved is powerful. That said here is part 4

The next series of recordings will be my Dad talking with his Uncle Ray Wilson. Most of the conversation is about family history. As a preface to that here are some photos relating to the conversation as well as the handwritten notes my Dad was taking during the conversation. Included on the tape is Ray's second wife Louise, a fantastic woman and myself:

The following audio was recorded on August 28, 1977 at my Grandfathers apartment in Dayton Ohio. Also on the tape in the background are Elsie Wilson, my grandfather's second wife and me. In part 1 they are discussing Cleveland back in the 1930's - 1950's. They touch on some interesting Cleveland crime connections on my mom's die of the family. Specifically the husband of her Aunt, John McNulty. I have recently received some new information from my surviving Uncle and am in the process of investigating that further. The quality from the cassette tape is not very good as it was recorded on a portable cassette recorder on inexpensive tape back in the 70's. But it is clear enough to understand.
