| Description: |
John Ticer was born in 1923 in his family’s house in Alexandria, and has never lived farther than seven blocks from there. He has lived in his current house for 37 years. Both of his parents also grew up in Alexandria, and while he was growing up here, Mr. Ticer’s father was on the City Council, served as mayor, and had a long career with the railroad. John attended the old Washington School, now the Campagna Center, the old Jefferson School which has been torn down, George Washington High School, and graduated from the University of Virginia. He worked as a soda jerk at Nicklin's Drugstore, served as an enlisted man in World War II, and worked for Westinghouse Electric and Atlantic Research Corporation. He and his wife Patsy have served on the City Council, and Mrs. Ticer is now a senator in the Virginia General Assembly. John continues to have an active interest in Alexandria’s history.
