Here are my maternal grandparents, outside our house in West Covina, California. I first showed them in my previous picture, "The Outsider," taken about 16-17 years after this one was taken. In this picture my granddad was working for TWA at Los Angeles International Airport servicing and inspecting the pride of the fleet, the beautiful Lockheed Constellation. They were both about 54 or 55 here. Grandma had her ever present Camel unfiltered and lighter in her hand. Cadillac buffs should be able to identify the model year of Granddad's huge black Caddy, complete with metal window shades. I think it is a Fleetwood, circa 1954. I was small, and that car was so big. Finally, they were really nice and I enjoyed their grandparenthood. He died in 1983 and she followed a year later. View full size.
