Notes by Michelle Graves:
Harry Graf was born in Loundonville, Ohio and I know was a druggist for a while. He met Madge Kinsey and after they
were married he worked with the Kinsey Players. He also worked for the Rogers Company which put on historical pageants.
Some of my memories are of seeing those shows which were quite elaborate.
Eventually they moved to Florida and opened up a costume shop. Every year when we went to Florida for Christmas Mike
and I got to sleep in the back room of that shop and we played with the costumes year after year - we have great family photos of dressing up.
Grandpa was quite a character. I remember him playing with Mike and me, chasing us around the house laughing.
I also picture him sitting in our backyard in a lawn chair, flying kites, smoking his pipe and drinking Pepsi, his favorite drink.
Once he asked me to go to the store to get him "half & half". I came back and handed him a pint of the liquid -
he laughed because what he really wanted was "half & half" tobacco for his pipe!
