Drummond's son was a year younger than me, he was on my winter school bus route in high school at one point. They lived in a very unassuming home near the Baha'i Temple, the type of home that looked like a large 1950's Berwyn bungalow but worth a fortune.

Even then, I was always amazed that the kid didn't get kidnapped by someone in the mob.

late 60's-early 70's. used to be on the corner of grand and nordica...across the street from the terminal snack shop & the original sicilian bakery. 2 doors east was the eye doctor that treated tony esposito...i believe it was all about tony's contact lenses.

yes, not too far from st. william church/school.
