My Mom, Barbara Lynn Erickson O'Neill, grew up at 2820 Hayes Avenue. As a child, my family would drive up to Hayes Ave. From Maryland…every 6 weeks! I have the fondest memories of staying with my grandparents Walter and Veronica Erickson. When I got a little older I would stay at my cousin's house on North 33rd street (The Bigwood family). I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend most of my childhood.
