October 1, 1964
Thursday, nice day, 50's. I put tomatoes in freezer. Cut Sue out a white blouse. Clifton came home at 1 pm. Engineers on strike. Sue and I went to prayer meeting at night.
Comment: On this day in 1908, the year my father was born, the Ford Model T was introduced to the public, and was the first car that was affordable and reliable for the ordinary citizen of the United States. Known as the "Tin Lizzie," . The Tin Lizzie was the first car built using mass production methods and when first introduced cost $850 seating two people, and by the time it was discontinued in 1927, nearly 15,000,000 Model T's had been sold. In the late forties, LaVerne and I and Franklin Brown hauled scrap iron with a 1919 Model TT truck....and here are my memories of it....talking blues style
Hey Gerry, it’s Ginny Hare! For some reason I am late to the party checking out your posts and all the extras you add. This song is amazing! I feel like I am there. Thanks for sharing your mom’s journal and you thoughts and talent!
