Pedicab Man

My uncle Alex [Dr. HD Alexander] bought back some little kimonos from Japan, for my daughters Jennifer and Anne, when he attended Lions Club International as a representative from the US. The swing set in background was designed by a Georgia Tech engineer, hence impossible to put together without drilling a few extra holes and beating it with a sledge hammer. I made a living those days hauling firewood. Paid $12k for the little fix-it house where this was taken. Compaired to today, a new Chevrolet pickup was a deal at $1,800.00 but washing machines were expensive at about $200.00. I had been drinking beer for about 4-5 years so must have been about 12 years old when this picture was taken.
