“Talking About BIKES” “I have had a FEW”

Feb 28th “Talking About BIKES” “I have had a FEW”

This is how I looked when going to “HIGH SCHOOL” – – the Bus Service in Saint Louis was on strike – – but … that was no excuse for me to stay HOME – – – – My little School Beret on top of the “Dunce Hat” – – since that is what I felt like – – having to ride all the way to “Rosati- Kain High School on Lindell Boulevard – – from Carter and Linton Avenue – – and had to carry my school books – – I am guessing this went on for at lest a week. (1950’s)

This is me at “St. Vincent’s” – – maybe fifth or sixth grade – — and this is on the “Girl’s side of the Play Ground.”

Naturally my brothers DENNY and TOMMY would want to ride the bike from time to time – – and sometimes I did share it – – I could not ride the bike all the time – – did have a few other things to do – – like work.

So… this next PHOTO is of DENNY – – and he did ride quite often – – can not remember TOMMY ever wanting to ride – – not at lest when I had film in my camera.

“Here’s a THUMBS-UP” – – how in the world would someone my age – – now… ride this – – nothing like giving it a thought or two – – just glad that no one talked me into buying – – sometimes… my son, Al talks me into buying something – – that he likes more than I – – but I am guessing – – this was not just what he wanted?
