I believe this is the last house in Amarillo we lived in before moving to Borger. Dad had a 1956 2dr sedan, black and white, Chevrolet. He purchased a 1959 blue Volkswagon to drive to Borger as Miliam had Dad open a store in downtown Borger. You can see one basement window on the right.<br /> <br /> I had a full size pool table in the basement and Mom did not want Uncle Buddy to know their was a pool table in the house. So one Thanksgiving she wanted to use it as the dining table. That did not happen, and when Buddy, Lucille and Dwayne came over for Thanksgiving Uncle Buddy watched Dwayne and I play pool :-)
