BOUNTIFUL HARVEST: Tomatoes are plentiful all through Ann Arbor and Washtenaw war gardens this year but there are probably few gardeners who can boast of 10 tomatoes on a single stem as can Mrs. Robert Miller, 607 Kellogg St. Mrs. Miller and her husband have their garden near the Fairview cemetery off Pontiac St.

Robert and Patty Creal, married 63 years this summer, are both board members for the Washtenaw County Historical Society with deep family roots in the Ann Arbor area. In this wide-ranging interview, Bob, a retired lawyer, and Patty, a former teacher, talk about their parents' and grandparents' Ann Arbor. They also paint a vivid portrait of Ann Arbor during the 1940s and 1950s with stories of growing up on opposite sides of town during the World War II era of rationing and Victory Gardens to a courtship involving no less than two iconic Ann Arbor institutions. Bob also discusses the signal achievements of his father, Cecil O. Creal, who served as mayor of Ann Arbor from 1959-1965.
