Bill Gerdts about Ericson, John

I never met John Ericson, though I telephoned him about a year ago. He didn't remember that long ago and why should he. I did, however, know John Meibes. He lived in Jackson Heights on 82nd Street and my parents and I lived in the apartment house across the street from where he and his family were, and he and I knew each other as casual friends and we occasionally went together to the Sunnyside Swimming Pool. That was only about 73 years ago.
