Old photo showing hatch design

[Mark Freedom]

My mom passed away back in October, she was 77.
It resulted in me going back through all of their old photos to share with my brother and sister.
What it really got me thinking about is just how much it's changed from the mid 50's when I was born to today.
They say you can't ever go back, but it doesn't stop me from wishing I could.
There was a bit less of the dog eat dog mentality back in those days.


Great pics Jerry, thanks for sharing those.

Well Jerry, let me ask you. Just where do you think hatches leak? Could maybe it be around the hinge? And back in the 40's & 50's all teardrops leaked unless they covered the hinge with a piece of leather.

EDIT: Well, Jerry, that is a good and simple way to make a hatch, but the main problem with leaks tends to be at the hinges. Back in the 40s and 50s, all teardrops leaked unless the hinge was covered with some leather.



Sometimes it is not WHAT one says, but HOW one says it that matters.

Jerry,
Those photos of your Mom and Dad are priceless. Do you know where they were camping at?

Your Mom is beautiful and your Dad looked very macho and cool with that cigar in his right hand. :thumbsup:

I think they were in central or eastern oregon. They were both raised in Portland.
