Jim McDaniel, Class of 1960, who lives in Behoboth Beach, Delaware, remembers the Bradley
family.
“John: The Bradley family lived 2 house up from our
home on lower street in Worthington.
Clarence Jr. was always called June.
I knew
his brother
Gene better than the other 2 kids. I
used to cut through the back of their house to get home. Think Mr. Bradley worked in the
mines at
Four States.”
