Here I am walking with our oldest daughter on her way to walk across the stage for her PHD in Bio-Chemistry this last weekend. I didn't realize my wife took the picture until later when I was looking at them on the camera. It doesn't seem like it should be that long ago when she was walked to the bus for the first day of kindergarten. Now to keep it on topic here is my cousin's 1937 UC with some options that didn't come from the factory. It has electric start, generator, lights, a spring seat, and a wide front. My dad drove this many hours in the years before I was born. Their farm was close to this one and they helped each other out a lot.  |
