We had relatives all over the country. Dad had met Mom at the University of Idaho and we had grandparents and aunts and uncles in ID; more relatives near Gary, Indiana; Chicago; Albuquerque; and Fort Worth. Every two years Dad would buy a new car and for summer vacation we’d drive a huge loop from upstate New York all around the country visiting everybody. Those were fun trips, even cramped in the back seat with two sisters and no air conditioning.
Broadened horizons and great memories!
