I had a cousin a year older and I always got her stuff but she was more "girly-girl" than I was. I wanted to wear pants but you could only wear them under your dress when it was cold out to walk to school. I was a real Tomboy and I'm still not much of a clothes horse. But I got tired of wearing her stuff except she had some skirts so I wore my Buster Brown vertical striped t-shirts with the skirts which were flowered or plaid. I asked my Mom years ago how she could let me go to school looking like that and she just rolled her eyes at me! LOL! I guess I was a little stubborn.

I never knew if there was a highway originally there or if they blazed a new trail. I guess the north south highways required repair at that time in 57. I will be looking that up on the net.L.
