I used to own the 41 Plymouth (in color) below. If I had known that my grandparents owned a similar Plymouth, I might have kept it.

This photo was taken at the Lakeside Motel, owned by Ray and Doris (Temple) Lark. Pictured with them is their daughter Connie Pesarcyk, my parents Bob and Bobby (Barbara Temple) George and my older siblings Jack George and Cindy Myers. This was before my time. You can see the old marina boathouses in the background.
