MEMORIES OF MY DAD'S PACKARD: 1947

MEMORIES OF A CHICKEN DINNER AND A BIG BLUE PACKARD

By ROBERT L. HUFFSTUTTER

Nephew, UncleJim, Aunt Dorothy, Robert Clifton after a chicken dinner in the autumn of 1947. Robert Clifton was an infrequent dinner guest and enjoyed living a reclusive lifestyle exclusive of family members. The drama surrounding this family portrait is the identity of the person who pushed the button on the Kodak camera with the imitation leather panels.

I can remember that camera very well. What I really remember, however, is my dad's big, dark blue Packard with the soft, but sort of scratchy interior.
