Their house had a garage, with a big circle in the middle of the garage so that you could pull in and then turn the car around on this platform, so that you could then pull out the right way instead of backing out. Anyway, this is pretty crazy. Had my dad stayed around, you probably would have known him. Very funny. It is definitely a small world.

In 1955 I was two, so that's probably why I didn't know your father, although if he had stayed around longer I might have met him. Small, small world.

The story is that my grandmother got divorced from her husband around 1950 and moved in with her parents on Coulter Street with my dad and his two brothers. In around 1955, they bought both sides of a twin on West Price Street. My grandmother remarried somewhere around 1957 and her new husband was a UU minister who promptly got sent to Hawaii. They sold her side of the twin, but my great-grandparents lived on West Price Street until the late 1960's. They were the Bartletts. This is so funny. Philadelphia is SUCH a small place. I was at a dinner last night and met someone who grew up on East Price Street. Okay, that’s pretty crazy.

Our family lived at 432 West Price Street then (from about 1954 until 1986). There is only one block of West Price as far as I know, so it must be the same block!

Every time I take photos of my family members, especially of my nieces and nephews, I wonder if the images will survive to someday be found, not unlike the way you found these.
