              <text>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."&#13;
&#13;
Thereafter, she made many cross country journeys with the boys back to Atlantic City to spend the summer with her father and mother.&#13;
&#13;
When the boys were older, she even drove to the East Coast.  &#13;
&#13;
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.&#13;
On the day she purchased this car, she took out her daughter in law, Betty Bloom, for lunch.  &#13;
&#13;
She had this car at her death in 1962.  </text>
