My Sister found the above photo and posted it on Facebook. That's my sister, Nancy, with Mom by Mom and Dad's trailer. I was brought home to this home (the trailer) in August 1949.

I'm not sure if it was 1950 or 1951 but Dad and Mom had this home built (4029 Monroe Street, Fort Wayne)

Monroe Street in Fort Wayne

I lived at 4029 Monroe Street from just after my birth (1949) until 1960. Dad did a lot with thsi house: put a large bedroom in the attic, finished the basement, and built a large garage in the back. The last time we visited here (about 9 years ago), this area of Fort Wayne was very run down. I climbed in those trees as a kid! (4029 Monroe Street, Fort Wayne, IN)

Dad paneled the knotty pine upstairs and built the garagehttps://t.co/zjL2A9R1pr pic.twitter.com/u0uhNA0jmR
