00:00 – Tom Dent interviews Andrew Young. The Young family’s move from Cleveland Avenue to the house on Annette Street. They moved in his last year at Gilbert Academy.

His parents looked forward to the home and saved the money to build it. His mother Daisy was careful with money. His wife Jean is good with money too. 07:30 – Dent asks about how the Youngs chose the particular block the new house would be built on. Young’s friends lived uptown and downtown, so the move was closer to some of his friends. He liked the house, but never had strong feelings about it.
