Transmissions from the Vacamatic heart

My paternal grandparents, Lake George NY, 1951 (clic the pic for a more glorious image):


My Grandfather was (1) an immigrant from Scotland, (2) a greengrocer, (3) a Baptist minister, (4) an avid gardener, (5) a sugar addict, and (6) a car lover.

Rather than having his children with him in this photo, he posed with his car, a 1946 Chrysler New Yorker!

My father informs me that one of his many childhood chores was keeping the whitewalls on this baby clean and shining.

Yaaaay Lake George

I grew up on Lake George at the northern end in the town of Hague.
