FOREWORD

The time period is the early 1960’s about 1964. It is late spring, early summer in the Over-brook section of West Philadelphia.

The trees are in full bloom with various colors soft pastels in yellow, pink, and purple flowers attached to their branches.

Trolley cars whiz on their tracks outside of Grand-pops beautiful white and red row house with a big screen and windowed inside porch, along with, police cars and fire trucks because both the fire and police headquarters are at the end of the block.

In front of Grand-pops house sits his beautiful silver and green Model T Ford.

Grand-pop has a large backyard off of a gigantic mud room with a private bathroom which contains a shower, sink, and toilet. The mud room also contains a deep double sink shelves, and cabinets for storage, along with hooks and shelves for rain and snow gear.

Grand-pops backyard has an apple, pear and peach tree. He also has green grapes growing on wines on a back slanted roof top.

Consequently, Grand-pop makes wine out of his grapes and apples and stores the wine in huge barrels so it can process and age.
