Description
Ethel was very independent. In an era, where women often did not go out of the house alone, she took her 2 young boys, while pregnant with her third son, on a train ride in 1920 from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, after packing up and selling her house, simply after receiving a trans-continental phone call from her husband, saying "pack up everything, Los Angeles is where I should practice law and where we should live."
Thereafter, she made many cross country journeys with the boys back to Atlantic City to spend the summer with her father and mother.
When the boys were older, she even drove to the East Coast.
Driving was part of her, and she always had a nice car. Her she is after having purchased, brand new of course, a 1959 Chevy Impala, powder blue. This was her second such purchase, she traded in the 1953 Chevy Impala (also powder blue) which she had also purchased new.
On the day she purchased this car, she took out her daughter in law, Betty Bloom, for lunch.
She had this car at her death in 1962.
