This is Joe's old toy steam roller. It has a real boiler and will move under steam power. I want to give it to the first grandchild of mine to send me an email asking for it.
Jim 2.1 family in Clarksburg. 1963. Joe*2.12 with a dog (name?), Mary Ella holding Patti 2.3, and Mimi 2.11 in the pool. This was our first home in Sacramento. We moved there to run a levee construction job. I had my office in the living room. This home is right next to the post office and the whole town went there to fetch their mail. Needless to say the kids made many friends who looked through and over the fence to say "Hello". In September 1964 we moved to town and settled into a model home near a school and church, St Ann's. Ann 1.4 and Larry* lived a short distance away. The 4 bedroom home came with all the furniture and cost $13,000.
Steve took the boys, Brendan and Taylor to an air show Sunday, It is held here in Sacramento annually. I went two year ago. It lasts all afternoon with things to see, and flyovers. Thanks Steve for the picture.
