June 22, 1972
It was my first summer home from college. My Dad said he could find me something to do at his real estate and insurance office. I thought that was o.k. I did not know how special it would be to have one of your children work with you until now. I believe he was proud.
The pictures are from that June in 1972.
The tall one on the right is me.
June 22, 1972, is also a birthday. I was able to buy my first car that summer. It cost $2,300.00. It has less than 50 miles on it. The sales tax was 3%. It did not have air conditioning. I used to take 4 girls to A & W for root beer while in college and our family drove it until it had 100,000 miles on it. I know I have mentioned it before but I loved that car. I still have it rusting out on the hill east of town.
After going out last night to take a picture I know that dream of restoring it is fading more and more each day.

Chloe wants to know, "Whose car is that?" I think she'd love to cruise with you..
Love the story of you and your dad, side by side.Kind of fond of parent/child pals, y'know..
Love you, Keesee.
I remember you dating Sharlene in that car!
Don't give up your dreams. You never know what's around the corner. You dreamed of a beautiful wife and family and that came true. Why not this? Love, you man.
