My wife worked at Yeager's in the mid '70's. We lived close by and I'd wander down to bs with Ira when I had a chance. He did have his own opinion about things and he was always straight forward about them. You never had any doubt where he stood on whatever subject he chose to discuss. Having spent alot of time as a kid with a story telling Grandpa, I got a big kick out of Ira and his stories.
