These sure bring back memories for me I was born 1938 and
life was like that till after the war 1945. We lived on the farm in
Loomis, CA north of Sacto. Mother had a 35 Dodge with the
full Ram on the hood. Grampa had 38 Plymouth and 35
International 1 1/2 ton truck we kids loved to ride in the back of
the old truck sometimes with 3 ton of hay on it and other times
loaded high with cull plumbs that would throw at signs and
mail boxes on the way home.

I didn't grow up in that time period but I've heard a lot of stories from my Mom, Dad (he died in 12/1989 job accident) I now have the Ford 850 we used to work together, also, heard stories from other relatives, have 2 uncles that fought in WWII both in the Navy, one is still alive in Clifton, TX, I do have a desk from that era just like the ones in photo #68, I have a lot of respect for the people that crew up in that era it seems they had MORE respect in that time than people do these days. I enjoyed the pictures, I'm gonna forward the web page to my Mom.

mj-thanks for great photos, film still gives a better picture than digital in my opinion. Pic 32 has the name of the town painted on the building roof-could be for aircraft navigation purposes-common at the time. Thanks again!

I was born in 1933 so I remember those times very well. I would have been about the age of those school kids in Texas. Times were tough back then but we still enjoyed our life. Looks like those black folks had it a lot worse that the rest of us.
