The attorney was trying to persuade Gaines to think about retiring. Gaines was 50 then. He's 82 now and still is a busy trial attorney, handling personal injury cases for the law firm of Gaines and Stern Co., the firm with which Howard Metzenbaum practiced before he was elected to the U.S. Senate. "Some of us get lucky" Gaines said. "I don't see any reason to retire. I enjoy the exhilaration of trial practice. It's a psychological experience from begin ning to end. I want to continue doing what I'm doing. I feel that I'm helpful. "But I don't kid myself. Someday it will happen and when it does. I'm sure my people will do what I have told them to do: Tell me'.' Gaines' vim and vigor belie his age. Just two days after his 82nd birthday last year, he began a trial in Ashtabula County that ended a week later in a jury verdict for his client for $600,000 — the highest amount ever awarded in a personal injury case in the county. A Shaker Heights resident, he started playing golf when he was 65. "I play my age on occasion/ he said, referring to his low-80s golfing average.

The famed Dayton flood of 1913 affected Zanesville, too. "The water came up to the ceiling of our house)' he recalled. "My father got hold of a skiff. He put mother and us children in the skiff.

"He bought a farm on higher land but — lo and behold — that house burned down. He used the insurance money to buy a home here at E. 130th Street and Abell Avenue in Mount Pleasant. Before that, young Jackson had finished high school and preceded his family to Cleveland, enrolling at West ern Reserve University's Adelbert College, bringing with him his high school graduation present — "the first whole suit I ever had!' He helped earn his way through college working for an uncle, who operated a catering company called DeKlyn's at 614 Euclid Avenue. "He gave me a job, first as coat rack man.

Dean of Barberton

by Jim Kennedy Most young boys dream of becoming President when they grow up, but it is rare to find a former boy who always wanted to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Long-time Barberton attorney and civic leader Robert Drexler Moss re cently admitted his childhood goal in an interview with the Herald. As with most dreams. Moss's Su preme Court aspirations fell through, and, in fact, the lawyer was only before the highest court in the land one time. The time Moss presented his case in Washington, the nine jurists under Earl Warren refused to hear his case. The disappointment does not lessen the pride which Moss feels about his certificate to practice before the Court, though, and the document can be proudly seen hanging behind his desk in the Marshall Building. "Yes, the law has been very good to me|' said Moss, who began the practice of law almost 50 years ago. Moss moved his law office to Barber ton in 1937 and with the exception of his time out to participate in the Second World War, he has been here ever since.
