That good bye kiss at the bus station touches me. A bus load of young men heading off to the Nam. Could be me on the bus. Still kissing the young men good bye even today. We never learn from our mistakes. I felt good looking at the pictures until I saw that one. Too many bad memories. Sorry. Dan

And I'd guess one of my few local customers' dads (?) maybe grandpa? ... anyway, he's got a '66 Catalina convertible so easy to see how he got into cars. :-D This pic is from 1953.

Here is a pic of our family's delivery truck. We had a hardware store in downtown Jacksonville from the early 1900's to 1939. The last shot has my Great Great Grandfather, my Great Grandfather, my Grandfather and my oldest living uncle who is the baby. He is in his 80's now and I think the picture was taken in 1928. My aunt who is not in the picture but was the next child born, passed away at home yesterday morning July 26 2011, she was 80.

Not sure what year or make the delivery truck is, anyone know?
