Moving ahead to Michigan, this was one of our favorite vacation spots, Lake Orion. The cottage was on a small island and you had to climb down a rickety set of stairs to get to the bridge to the island. It was tough carrying everything, but worth the effort.

This vacation spot had it all including a family of ducks which were well fed while we were there.

 
A day trip to the Renaissance Festival for fun and games. Of course, Martha had to get an indulgence at the bargain price of a $1.00

   
My life started in the Bronx and here's my old grade school, St. Joseph's. Convenient for the Nuns. If you were a problem, they could march you across the street to the NYPD 48th Precinct.

My fortress in the Bronx. I've switched to more convenient friends, such as Smith, Wesson and a few others. Is this a great place or not? Senior citizens get a discount for their Pistol Permits!

    
    
 My first car. - a 1927 Buick named "Blue Bell". That's my cousin and partner, Ray, at the steering wheel. Notice the fancy sun shade and aluminum bumper guards. We tried to bang out a ding in the fender and the hammer just bounced off. They don't make em like that any more.
