Gordon Walker Sr at 3 Months........and Standing already ! Actually I was not Gordon Walker Sr. when this picture was taken, just plain ole Gordon Kenneth Walker born in 1930. The Senior part did not come along until I was 34 years old.
This picture was taken in 1937 in the front yard at Bent Tree.
This is my Dad standing in front of his 1934 Ford Sedan. I don't have a date for this picture but probalby around 1938
From Left to Right, My Sister Eva, My grandmother Lizzy, Me, My Mother, My Brother George and My Dad
This is the exact radio that we owned when I was a kid. We had a sitting room just off the kitchen and the radio sat on a table just to the right of my Dad's chair. Quite often we were not permitted to talk when my Dad was listening to the radio,
This is a close up of the dial that allowed you to select stations. All of the major radio stations were printed on the face of the dial.
This is My Uncle Phil's 1937 Lincoln Zephyr
This is the Square in Youngstown, Ohio
The Youngstown Sheet and Tube Campbell Works, Stop 14 in Struthers, Ohio
This is Stop 14 in Struthers as it appears today. It's almost unbelievable to see a change such as this from what it was in the picture above.
The Campbell Works
The Old Steam Engine Train
The large railroad yard where tons and tons of coal came in every day
The Family on the porch at 919 Wilson St

Our 1930's Ice Box
This is my Mother sitting on the bumper of a car that I am not familiar with. The license plate says 1928. The Barnhart house is directly across the street. I recognize the trees in the front yard over there but they were much larger when I was about 5 years old. The tree to the left is very young as I remember climbing up in it when it was about 35 to 40 feet high. I also noticed that there is some corn to the left of the car and our garden was further back than that..
