My grandfather, John Stites, practiced law in Louisville and did a lot
of work for the banks. He left law and became president of the
Lousiville Trust co. He was up in years when I was a little girl, but I
can remember when I was 5 or 6 years old, going with my grandmother to
pick him up late in the afternoon. He died when I was about 14.
