| Story1: | Frank Y. Grayson was an excellent sports writer for the Times Star - a newspaper man for 66 years. His wife, Daisy, was an excellent seamstress and also did beautiful hand work. She made quilts for each of the Brown's (734 Park) children when they were born. Their son, Ray, had a childhood disease which left him deaf. He learned to lip read and was excellent at it. His wife, Edna, was both deaf and mute. Nancy was their daughter. Frank & Daisy's daughter Margaret married Loren Gatch and it was for them that 104 Miami was built. Margaret later married Dick Booze and lived in California. |
