Subject: [Ohio-talk] A Gary Indiana Memory



In light of the passing of Mr. Jackson, I was thinking about when I lived in 
Gary Indiana from 1970 to 1985.

I would walk by the Jackson family house frequently as I went to visit one 
of the elderly Mothers in our church.

I use to go their and play the piano for her and on more than one occasion 
I'd stop just outside of that house at 2300 Jackson street and wonder what 
memories lurked within!

In 1983 I had the opportunity to work briefly with one of the early 
producers of the Jackson family and he told me that they were one of the 
most gifted families he had ever seen and despite his bitterness at how they 
left Gary, he was convinced that the world would hear from them.

What an understatement!
