Verlon at Cape Cod

I don't have a date handy for this picture but it was taken of son Verlon up on Cape Cod during the 1970's. He had gone down to Richmond, VA after HS and joined the National Guard. He was later transferred up to a unit in the Cape Cod area and that is how he got up there. He not only had this Pyramid but also  a Wigwam that he lined in. We got up to visit him and his friends on a couple occasions before eventually his coming back down to Richmond. He was the Chief carpenter in our building a large deck on the backside of our Mantua house in Fairfax, Co, VA in the late 70's. He also helped us move back to the Farm in Nebraska in 1980 and did some remodeling of the house. We bought a house in Seward soon after realizing that with Elaine and I both working in Lincoln, and a daughter and Grand-daughter coming to live with us, we needed a better place to live. It was a small house but had a full finished basement which was very handy for guest and relatives. While we sold the farm after a few years, we continued to keep the house until moving to Brookdale a couple years ago. Verlon has always been our "handy man" to do any home improvements that needed to be done.
