A lovely picture, Brenda, and a typical 50s scene.

Look at the ice and snow.... no fun riding a bike in that weather... I know, I used to ride my bike to and from school, chapped knees, legs, hands and face....wouldn't want to have to do that again... Looks like your Dad was well wrapped up Brenda... Lovely photo..

Brenda, I love these photo's when you get some good information to go with them.
