Sue and I spent a week with grandpa & grandma. Eli was driving a taxi at the time; summer of 1956 is my best guess. He was there to get us cereal for breakfast. He drove taxi in the late afternoon / evening. He had us ride with him when... he first went to work, proudly introducing us to all his fares. Suppertime was at the local burger place. We ordered hamburger, french fries, chocolate malt. About the 3rd day, he said " but there are all kinds of sandwiches, don't you want something different? " Nope. After dark, he brought us home and we went to bed. We had little interaction with grandma. It was a fun week exploring his yard, his front porch and especially the back porch/room.
Susan Sundquist Do you remember him getting us to try a black cow? (rootbeer float). I still can see us sittting in the back of the cab at night....so fun!
