Description :
Fred William "Bud" Cook at a stag bar (Tony's Cafe) on the corner of Ludlow and 7th. Street in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio when the neighborhood was still a good and decent neighborhood. My family was not Italian but the neighborhood had many Catholic Italian families. Fred and his wife, Helen (Sositko) Henry Cook had many Italian friends. This photo was possibly taken in the late 1950's (or early 1960's). Fred and his family lived upstairs from the stag bar at 7th and Ludlow Streets from about 1949 until he died in Dec.1963. His wife still lived there until her death in 1968.
Fred was the son of Lena Ethel (Tribbey) Henry Cook.
I just want to add a note to this that Fred did not like the certain hillbillies (mostly called rednecks now) when they started moving into the neighborhood because these hillbillies who moved into the neighborhood would put their living room couch (sofa) and television set outside on the sidewalk to sit and watch TV. They would threaten to shoot people who would just be walking down the street and then walk in front of their television. That was a bad first impression that Fred got from those people. I am sure he met other people from Tennessee, Kentucky and etc but he probably didn't know it because they didn't act the same as those people.
