Christmas Trees - 1951
After an absence of a dozen years, Dad returned to his farm to cut Christmas trees.
For this, he bought a 1941 Ford pickup.
In August 1951, Dad, Mom, and Norman drove to the tree farm. The pickup had a flat tire at the Idaho state line after dark.
After a short visit at Kalispell, Mom and Norman came home on the train.
