I loved the fifties

One of my daughters is out visiting her grandfather in California and I guess they’re going through old pictures. Somehow this one ended up on Facebook.

This is my dad and mom and my brothers and me on the tailgate of our new ’58 Plymouth station wagon (with a push button transmission) having a picnic. That’s me in the middle, probably chewing one of my famous baloney and potato chip sandwiches.

I still comb my hair like that.

    I preferred baloney and corn chips.

    I like the UDT shorts and muscle shirt. And that look is priceless.
