<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As one of the younger ones of this group, I grew up
driving a 72 Le Sabre. However I had a conversation last night with my 90
year old uncle who told me of leaving his 30 cent an hour welding job in Wyoming
in 1941, and loading up his 33 Plymouth and driving across the country heading
for Bremerton. A cousin told him there was no housing, so he stopped in
Longview and worked in the mill for awhile. He rented a little house for
$15 a month, bought a 103 x 200 lot for $338, and by the next spring had built a
two room house that he and his wife moved into (with an outhouse out
back). They lived in that house (with a few additions) for 55
years. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One other story he told me was: when he
was an 18 year old kid he worked in the CCC in New Mexico. He made
$25 a month. He sent $20 home to feed his brothers and sisters. I
want to find a guy like that for my daughter!</FONT></DIV>

Vacuum Tank fuel pump) I painted it my school colors (Stadium Hi in
Tacoma, Blue and Gold)</DIV>
