AND IN THIS CORNER

We have our Legal Department and more . That's my great " Uncle Lou " in the big frame with some of his NY Times clippings . Louis Joseph, was the first Joseph I know of to go to college. He was an assistant DA for Brooklyn in the 1930's 'till the 1960's. He worked on some famous cases including the prosecution of the Albert Anastasia Murder Incorporated mob. He worked on some real funny ones too. We always welcomed his visits to Mastic Beach. Other neat stuff in that corner include models of several legandery Long Island Stock Cars .... Axel Anderson's #15 Root Beer Special;s and Jimmy Hendrickson's Flying A, Al DeAngelo's Ace Of Spades. My first article for Stock Car Racing Magazine is in a frame and under that, photos of childhood pals Larry & Dennis and their Dad Dave Schulz .

 

WHEN I WAS A KID THERE WERE LOTS MORE CARS IN THE ROOM
The little die cast ones with #s are all in my first book Long Ride On Short Track. That's an actual box of Royal headlight bulbs (before sealed beams) that I used in my '36 Plymouth. That's a '37 Plymouth in the frame on top of the the bulbs. I bought one just like it for $25.00 from Bobby Green in '63

 

THEN WE HAVE A NICE WINDOW THAT LOOKS OUT ON A NICER TREE ......

BECAUSE OF YOU & COLD COLD HEART

The cars in the photos I owned at different times in my life. Although I had a Caddy or two The only Black '53 Eldorodo I ever had is the one you see here. But my Blue & Silver '53 Bentley was quite nice and more than made up for it! Behind the Caddy is an 1909 Edison Wax Cylinder of Phoebe Knapp's song Blessed Assurance. To the left our '58 Ford. Above that a '36 Plymouth Ad. They started at $510.00 On Top Dead Center is my '36 "Old Blue" next a grey '57 Jag Mark VIII that was like a beautiful woman HIGH MAINTENENCE ... Then The Bentley ...... Great Memories & Great Machines wish I still had all of them!
