Aging Roaming Elyria Artist Reduces Pace to Life at Home
Marvin Todd 79 once walked daily from East Avenue highrise to the reading room library and to Mom's Open Kitchen. After a 1981 truck accident and arthritis he now lives with Pauline Crigger in an Adult Foster Care home on George Street. He spends his day raking, watering, and taking short walks near George Street and Middle Avenue. He took a winter trip to California last November but avoided danger after a mugging. He once worked as a display artist and left the Plain Dealer in the 1940s to travel and sketch artsful scenes.
