These photos I received from Dale. They arrived 3-14-13 via USPS Priority mail box.

There are several albums, which are coming apart, and with the intent to keep their original order, I will scan the loose items first.

I will not spend a lot of time trying to identify each one, as I feel it is more important, at this time, to share them.

I will upload them, with the intent to identify them at a later date.

In most cases, they are shown at their original size, in the scan tray.

The glass didn’t survive the trip. This sat on mom’s furniture, no matter where she lived.

I plan to give this to Colleen.

We had this fifteen foot “Terry” trailer the entire time we lived in Yuma.

When Wayne stayed with us, we took it to San Diego to camp at the beach.

We towed it to Sacramento, where it was parked in the back yard at 3641 Lankershim Way.

 

 

The 1953 Plymouth. Dad drove it to Detroit to pick up the new 1959 Plymouth Station Wagon.
