We were one of the first families to move in (to Marshall Courts), at 866 36th Street, on March 22, 1941....
There were (still are) 10 apartments in each row of most of the 2-story apartments, but we were the
only occupants in the 860s row for a few days. The Peninsula Dairy, located on Jefferson Avenue
between 35th and 36th Street, left complimentary quarts of milk on each of the 10 doorsteps, assuming
that people would be living in all of the units. Since no one else lived there but us, my brother and I
thought that we lived in the entire building, so we went and collected all 10 of the quarts of milk
and brought them to my mother. We were very upset to find out that only 1 quart belonged to us
and that we would have to share the building with 9 other families.

WOW!  Thanks, Bill!

Among those treasured photos of Bill Campbell's, I sure hope he finds one or two of the Peninsula Dairy Store
on Jefferson Avenue between 37th and 38th Streets. It sure attracted a crowd from Marshall Courts
and Seven Oaks with their great selection of Ice Cream and Shakes.

 I hope he does, too, Joe!  That would be sweet!
