I received a letter from my Grandson
It was a school project called Generations
I will receive six letters from him
Asking about my life through the early days first
The Newspaper of my birth told some of the story
A robbery of a jewelry store downtown Seattle
The same day Mom was being rushed to the hospital
All the roads to and from the city were block aided
My Dad's ten ton coal truck was let through
Mom said the police escort was because I was special
I will not say on this site my age but---
The robbery was $28 dollars and some jewelry
And probably because the Jewelry owner was hostage
The cars involved were vintage 1934-1938
Speed of the chase up to forty miles an hour
7 Pd's 11 ounce I was chubby for my age
Oh, after a long chase the robbers were caught
Fifty two miles from the scene of the hostage taking
OK, our first refrigerator was a box filled with ice
First television 8 inch black and white
We kids were allowed to watch the test pattern
Kukla Fran and Ollie and sometimes wrestling
If we were good and kids did our chores
Grandpa's car was a 1932 Desota and our phone
Landlocked and could be used when the lady got off
This in our case might be four or more hours
