Uh, I’m guessing it is in fact one and the same Caddie, padre. As that is in fact me on one of my very early roadtrips–probably (gulp) in 1969, already in flight, I guess, from Enid, Oklahoma! The pic came from an old album Priscilla Adams Small passed along a couple of years ago.

OMG, that Caddie in the picture is identical to the one we had in Enid, Oklahoma in 1969. Whose is it? Or, where was it taken? Beautiful anachronism!

Yes! Congrats, David! But, have you done your normal fact checking on Lowell Thomas? He had a home in Poughkeepsie, NY I spent an hour or two in before or about the time of the great man’s passing. Your great grandmother Mary Kerr Page Gwinn had a home in the area. His fireplace (think huge) caught my eye. It was embedded with labeled artifacts from his travels that included things like a piece of the Pyramids, potsherds from Timbuctou, and various other problems. Of course I had only just stopped collecting Anasazi potsherds myself so it really wasn’t hard to put his collection in the social context of his era. Just thought you oughtta know . . .
