Hi Jeni, I am so glad that you wrote back. I'm just thrilled to find out that we are related. After Grandma and Grandpa Ent died, I completely lost touch with that side of my family.
As I said before, my father was Norman and he was killed in WW II. My mother and I moved back to Greendale and lived with my other grandparents for awhile. My mother was only 26 when she became a widow. My mother came from a very large family; so therefore, when she went to work, there were always aunts and uncles to take care of me. My mother never remarried. She passed away in 1993 at the age of 74.
I have very good memories of Milan and Grandma and Grandpa Ent. It was the highlight of my summer vacation to ride the train from Lawrenceburg to Milan. Grandpa Ent would be waiting for me at the station. We would walk down into town and have a soda at the drug store. He would tell everyone we met that I was Norman's daughter.
Grandma Ent was a great cook. She made home-
made french fries. She would also have squirrel and rabbit! But being a city girl, I wouldn't even try it.
I'm sorry I forgot to mention Bill. He was a very kind, soft-spoken person. Your grandpa, Harley, was a motorcycle policeman in Cincinnati. Marjorie and Norman lived back a gravel road and didn't have an indoor bathroom. That was a real shock for me!
Your dad, Bob, George, who I called Georgie, and Margie were quite a bite older than Norman and me. I have no idea what happen to any of my cousins. You will have to fill me in about your dad and George. My husband and I drive out to the Railroad Inn to eat. One of the waitresses told me that Margie Ent passed away.
Everyone who knew the Ents says that I look like my dad. I would love to get together with you and your sister some time to talk about the Ents. Maybe we could arrange to meet at the Railroad Inn. Let me know what you think. We could bring pictures to share.
Once again thank you for responding. It is exciting to find out about family members that you didn't even know you had.
Sincerely, Donna
