Pictures From Elkhart

This is the Holdread farm in Bristol. Dad lived here for a while as a kid and I have some vivid
memories as well; the outhouse with a Sears catalogue for TP, the truck that started with a crank,
and watching a tornado on the horizon.

The barn is still there.  I remember it being painted with a big advertisement; Mail Pouch Tobacco I think. 

This is the first house that I remember living in. It has been added on to several times. It had an out-
door toilet and a hand pump. I wonder how old the tree is.

1227 Grant Street. I grew up in this house, Kindergarten through High School. It looks so small now.

1535 Erwin. I only lived here for a short time after high school.

Lilly Creek. This was my favorite place to play as a kid. The "jungle tree" was our hang out. We
wrapped a rope around a configurations of branches creating a "joy ride" for anyone who had the
courage to swing on it.
