Story 1: 20 February 2005 correspondence from Elroy E. Bourgraf,  (8000 Peregrine Lane, Cincinnati OH45243.  8665 Bay Colony Drive #2203, Naples FL 34108.)  He was the 1st owner of this house and sent the early pictures.  "Sorry it has taken so long to deliver on this promise.  The snowy picture reminded me of what a fun place Terrace Park was.  A great place to grow up.  I'm only in town for this week and then back to Florida.  Enjoy your 'Estate'."  signed El Bourgraf. 
Story 2:      Dr. Halbauer had his dental practice in his home - dental chair etc. in what was the dining room.
     Edith Halbauer was born 10 March 1906 and died 30 March 1954, aged 48 years.  Stewart Halbauer died 30 April 1958.  They are both buried in Section 19 of Greenlawn Cemetery, Milford OH, Monroe Funeral Home. 
Story 3: Information from Dr. Halbauer's daughter, Patricia J. (T P High School 1956)(m Michael Arnold - T P High School 1957).  2 brothers: Stewart R. Halbauer & Ronald G. Halbauer (T P High school 1951).  Pat lived at 628 Myrtle 6 years while she went to
T P High school 1950-1956.  "I went to T P School in the Old and New Colony Buildings, which were similar to army barracks.  Sounds weird but it was a lot of fun.  I was a football and basketball cheerleader so that is something you always remembers fondly.  The kids from T P were always a very close knit group.  All we had was each other.  We walked and rode our bikes everywhere.

     My best memory of Terrace Park was the day my family moved into our house - they were still carrying in furniture and I had about 5 girls pull into my front yard on bikes - introduce themselves and told me to go get my bike because they were going to take me all over the Park and introduce me to everyone (kids).  And they did and I was part of the group from then on.  All neighborhoods should do that.  I never forgot it.  (Lots of slumber parties.)
     We rode bikes everywhere.  Our "big deal" was to walk to Milford.  We knew just about everybody who lived in TP with the exception of about 20 houses and they were usually very old people who didn't go out much.  In the '50s there were a lot of P&G people who were pretty transit but we got to know them through babysitting.  I did a great deal of babysitting when I was in the 7th & 8th grades and most of it was with ... Susan Heil and her sister Lynn.  They lived next door (603 Marietta).  I earned enough after one entire summer to buy my mother a 2 piece pop up toaster for Christmas (25 cents an hour)." 
Story 4: John Carter Campbell was born 9 March 1924 and died 9 July 1978, aged 54 years.  Helen Sayles Campbell was born 13 May 1924 and died 25 August 2009, aged 85 years.  Their son, Bruce Sayles Campbell, was born 7 January 1957 and died 19 July 1967, aged 10 years.  They are all buried in Section 4, Niche 112.
