    The scales in the background of Dean gives away where he is on his bike..I used to run down the street toward mother's shop and always jump on those scales..then on down the street running and try to jump up and touch the awning on the barber shop as I passed Hebert's dad store..Then one day I was able to touch that awning..a blue letter day..I thought I had got a lot better jumping,,but you know I bet I just got taller..

    "Carl, how do you find so many old pictures with girls in shorts?"

    JUST LUCKY, I GUESS! Don't they look good! Keep 'em coming, folks... I really enjoy seeing how we used to look "back then" when we we had more hair and smoother midsections!

    Shirley Smith is correct. Good job on the correct ID.
