Ave L. neighbor's brick barbecue

We also knew the house was correct on Ave L. because their neighbors still had the brick barbecue in their back yard. Though it looks run down a bit.

Dad's house on Ave. L

2) Even though the front posts are now metal, Dad knew this was the house because the window on the front door matches the one on the black and white photo.
2) Here is the water main hole that is located on the second black and white picture.
1) Here you can tell that there isn't a garage anymore. But there is a driveway-therefore we can conclude from the black and white picture that they have converted the drive-way to make the house bigger.
The man that owns the house now told us this house never had a garage. We looked at our picture and asked him....."Then why is there a drive-way?"


A man came to our car while we were trying to find this house. He asked us what we were doing. When we told him he asked for my Dad's name. When Dad said, Jim........, the neighbor remembered Dad's family. He told us that Dad's house was the last one on the block, he went there for parties all the time, and those were great days!

Dad's house on Gloria Ln.

This was a hard house to find. Especially since the old pictures only show the back of the house. But Dad remembered the car port and the front door was on the side.

In the black and white photos you can see the neighbor's windows like in the picture above.

My dad's school

Dad said that as a child he threw a tennis ball at one of these windows and broken it.
Well, he truly said that, "A child threw a ball into one of these windows and that boy could have been me." :)
Crocket School 1925. Dad said on his first day of school he was so excited that he rode his bike to school and made it an hour early.

Memories

On our family road trips we would sing hymns. This past trip to OR, I got a video of my favorite song we would sing as a family.

Having a great time in Portland
