Earliest Memory - 1953

 I was 2 - 3 yrs old.  We lived in a farmhouse just outside of Decorah.  The gravel driveway came off the highway and curved uphill to the house.  Susan and I were playing outside when we spotted grandpa's car turning into the driveway.  We ran down the drive to meet him and he stopped about 30 feet from the house.  He let us stand on the running boards (yes! running boards) and wrap our arms through the window frame to hold on.  He drove very slowly up to the house.  Wow, that was a wild ride!
