My father was a Ford man, most of his life.
We lived in Seattle, Dad was working for Todd's
Shipyard, in West Seattle.

We moved to Riverton Heights. He bought a Trailer
Park and went to work, at a Ford Dealership, in Renton.
I remember, when he brought home a 1949, Ford, 4 door
sedan. Stick shift, on the steering column and a V-8.
it was a treat.

We relocated, East of the Cascade Mountains. I remember,
as I had enrolled at O'Dea and was disappointed, as we were
leaving my friends.

Dad opened an Electrical Contracting business and all of his
trucks were Ford. I specifically remember a pickup truck, 1951.

Dad had passed away, several years later, and my younger brother, drove up in a
Chevrolet. I could visualize our dad, spinning in his casket,
when that news broke.
Funny how your mind works, when happenings pop up although,
you hadn't thought about it in years.
