We moved from California to Colorado in 1959. Dad drove my sisters cross country, and Mom took me (then almost three years old) on the Zephyr. A memorable ride. I got to go up to the observation dome car one time, then we had to go away “so someone else could enjoy it.” At that age, the most impressive thing was the toilet — you push a lever on the floor with your foot, and a vortex opens up and everything’s gone! Right out the bottom of the train! Years later, I convinced myself I’d imagined that part, and still later, I found that no, I’d been right all along. Right on the tracks. I have a brief mental image of the train station when we got in, then we were off to our new life in Fort Collins.

Hi there. My name is Mary Aarons and I live in MA. A google alert I’ve got set for my own name sent me to your blog. I’m curious to know more about your grandparents Harry and Mary Aarons. I’ve spent much of the last two years learning about my Aarons relatives…mostly from Vilna/Vilnius Lithuania…came to NYC’s Lower East Side.
My great grandfather was Chaim Aaronowicz (not exactly sure of spelling.) His wife was Ester/Ester.
Best,
Mary Aarons
