When Coralie was a baby and before she was a year old and I was 12 ,Ernie and Esther lived on the Buck place. This was about half way from school to home. This was not the shortest way but I took that path every day coming home. I would stop and sit on the floor by Coralie's bed or chair for a few minutes before going home. So I 'think we bonded early.
In later years Bruegger's home was our base even when we didn't stay there. We always enjoyed visiting with Coralie and John.
