Mrs. Albright was the grandmother of my friend Alice. Coincidentally, at her passing, Mrs. Albright lived in the same home in which my mother grew up. Curious when my mom’s childhood home was sold, I looked it up- her parents sold it in 1960, and in spring of 1962, Ruth Albright opened the Ideal Beauty Salon there.
