Albert and Flora came to Washington in the summer of 1965 to visit. We always did a lot of sight-seeing when we had company and this is an example. Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson seemed very cordial by inviting us to join them for the picture. We had been back there for 3-years at this time and felt we were "well established". We bought a new 1965 Chevy Impala Station Wagon that we drove back to Nebraska to take Albert and Flora home. We visited Flora's sister and family in Pennsylvania, went on up to Niagara Falls, drove across Canada to Windsor and crossed the old bridge into Detroit. We stopped at the old "Tiger Stadium". It was midday and we were able to walk into the ballpark and got a picture of Tim and a Groundskeeper raking the ground around home plate. Then we went on to Seward. It was another case of 8 of us traveling together for several days and getting along remarkably well. I came across this picture this afternoon in our continuing efforts to reduce our inventory of "stuff". I tell Elaine that we don't want to get rid of the stuff that we can enjoy going through when we get old, and she reminded me that she thought that was what I was doing.
