My sons were eight and eleven years old in this picture. They were posing with their grandpa, Ben, in front of the Airstream trailer--good 'ol 2268. What a fine looking group this was!! I believe this picture was taken in Vicksburg when Mom and Dad were on a road trip and trailer rally in the South. They were parked at a local campsite and we brought them to church with us on this particular Sunday. There are a couple of things to note about this picture. The car my Dad was driving at the time was a Lincoln Town Car. (Pretty daring for a confirmed Chevy man!) He had secretly wanted one for a long time and he was finally able to get a good deal on a used model in great condition. (After a few years he returned to his "Chevy Man" persona) Also, take notice of the pants and shirts my sons are wearing. I call these combos "the Sunday uniform". Every boy (young and old) wore either a white shirt and tan pants OR a light blue shirt and navy pants for dress up occasions--like going to church. Actually the shirts and pants were interchangeable and so two garments became four outfits. (repeat every month) The long sleeved version of this shirt replaced the short sleeves during the winter months. Wearing a belt was mandatory. hohoho My memory bank is overflowing with this kind of stuff. Good times.
