Eddie

 

Written on the back, "Daddy, Ruth & Eddie, Joyce & Ruthann with Xmas gifts."  Well, we are getting close to Christmas so it's time to put this one up.  I've been holding on to it for a while and with any luck, I'll be out of town on the big day. 

A Schwinn at Christmas

As a cycling enthusiast, I can assure you that the head badge on that bike is from a Schwinn.  At the very bottom of the oval, you'd read, "Chicago."  Ah, for the good old days when the United States was one of the world's leading bicycle manufactures.  When I was a kid, I longed for a genuine Schwinn bike.  I ended up with a Huffy.  After it was stolen, I got a used Raleigh three speed.  One of the best bikes I've ever owned.
