My Mom and Dad's first home - 1956

Shortly after they married they moved to Huntsville AL and lived in this trailer while my Dad served on the military base working on rocket guidance systems.

This was taken during a family vacation. I believe this was in Cadillac, MI

Before and after shots of my Dad's '65 Mustang convertible.

The second shot was taken in front of the Ford EEE (Engine Electrical Engineering) building where he worked. I later worked in this building for about 10 years of my career at FoMoCo.

I think I shared this on the old site.

I'm the one in the middle that's about to be clobbered by my twin. I don't recall why he did this, but I am sure that I did nothing to deserve such a response.

Four generations of FredS's in 1939. Seriously. All named Fred. My dad is the baby. I never knew the cat in the middle (my great grandfather) but he looks like a badass. I bet those hands turned the lights out on plenty of guys.

Grandpa on his scooter. He was like a little kid on that thing. Pure joy.

What a great picture. I never knew that you were from a long line of FredSs. That's something to be proud of.

Uncle Don and his jalopy. Probably not coffee in that coffee cup.

No cool hot rod pictures, but I do have a cool toy tractor picture with my sister and cousin from 1958.
