Ava Cassirer

Ava's backyard and my backyard connected in University Heights. Ava and her brother David would cut through our backyard to get to Heights and back home everyday and my father would always catch them. My first band experience was with David in the late 60s but I did not become friends with Ava until the late 90s. She came to hear our band play at Rick's Cafe in Chagrin Falls and we reconnected. I would spend many days at her home working with her on several projects. Ava always had several projects that she was working on and being very successful in doing so right from the comforts of home. It was great getting to know her better and hearing some of her stories from our younger years. I miss the fellowship we shared.
