There was a single parent family next door

There was a single parent family next door. I forget the mom’s name, but she worked at Rice. She had two teenagers, a boy and a girl and a preteen girl named Laura. We sort of adopted the family and did odd jobs for them, mostly keeping her car running.

That summer I bought a Mamiya Sekor 500 DTL SLR camera, again ‘on time’. This really revived my photographic hobby.

I keep mentioning Steve Treadwell. He is a really smart guy and we were roommates in the Cecil apartment, the Swanson apartment, the Branard house and the Bartlett apartment (poverty pocket). He was gracious enough to give up his part of the Bartlett lease so that Mrs. Kathy Golden could move in.
