My grandmother was Louise Margaret Cunningham. Her uncle's homesteader cabin is part of the National Register of Historic Places. Located in Wyoming, it is part of the Grand Teton National Park.

^ Wow...look at the pic of your mother and the one of you in second grade above. A strong resemblance!
We share the same facial bone structure and both have blue eyes. I was blonde as a child and she's always had jet black hair. I guess that pic was taken in the mid-30s. She was born in 1928. This is of me when I was 3 years old. My mom's high heels and the rest of me is enjoying the wind. Maybe I should post this on that "other" thread.

And so it begins!

You can see where I got my love for cars from.

My mom at Watkins Glen in the early days when they raced in the streets:

Did you notice the skinned elbow, Scoots? That was from peddling my little car too fast and I had my first (and thankfully last) rollover car wreck. I also sustained a banged up knee. Is that what you meant by "and so it begins?"

Beautiful. I’ve been in the breezeway between the cabin and workshop/barn on two different visits. It has a great prospect of the Tetons from the center opening, I’ve milled around and have taken many photos from that property.

At age 7 I knew sports cars would play a huge roll in my life.

An old friend from NC sent me this pic. I had never seen it. It is of my uncle (Ellis Simon, Auntie's husband) leading a firemen's parade in New Bern in 1915. He would have been 13 at the time.
