Here is one of my uncle's cement truck in Quincy, Ill on July 5th, 1951.
A full load of cement and the ground/street just caved in as he was leaving a stop light. They had to lower a 12' ladder into the pit so he could climb out. The only injury was to his pants!!!

That's a swell jacket yer uncles got there. I get so lost in all these old pics, looking at the people and the clothes and the cars, all the little details that we no longer have.

Rich Venza · 02-11-2010, 11:54 AM

What's the odds that some mayor's uncle had a brick factory back in the day?
