When I was a young girl in Salt Lake City Jack Sear was our next door neighbor. At times he was a cantankerous old man but some time shortly after we moved in he choose me to run errands for him to the local grocery store. Mr Sears didn’t like children very much but then he was in his late 80s also. We had a pure white cat named Squeeky. Mr Sears wasn’t fond of cats but he loved Squeeky. It turns out that she had rid his home of some mice that had set up residence in his home. We never found out he had passed away until a few years afterward. His old home is at 716 4th Avenue. It should be declared a national historic landmark. Utah poet Mark Strand and his family lived in that home in the 1980s. They are the people that converted the attic into a room for Mark to do his work in.
