My mother and me next to her '56 Oval, bought in Germany when she was teaching in England. I believe the color was Diamond Green. _________________ I know the pieces fit, cos I watched them fall away.

My father expanded the house in '73. I'm currently sitting with that tree outside the window. That is me with my younger siblings and the '56 Oval. Father drove a green '64 Bus at that time.
The tree is 15" wide and a Camry is parked there today _________________ I know the pieces fit, cos I watched them fall away.
