Notes from family members

As a boy during part of the Depression, Fred was the only breadwinner for his nuclear family. He had a paper stand on a busy street corner near the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland, California.

Fred was in an auto accident [date unknown]. He had a deep cut on his wrist, severely injuring his left hand. He rehabilitated himself by playing the piano, as the insistence of his mother, Jessie. He was eventually able to use the hand well enough that he was acceptable for United States military service.

According to his daughter, Cynthia, Fred and his wife, Helen, did road rally races. He was usually the navigator. He died in a crash on one of these rallies on 16 July 1960. Helen was driving and survived. Helen (nee Ball) was driving and survived. Fred's death devastated Jessie and Archie, since he was their only offspring.

To my knowledge, Fred's children's last names were never changed (but I don't know everything!). He had a girl and a boy. The boy has one daughter.
