When I think of the Bentley house on Baringer I get a flood of memories.
Dee Dee was terrific
A Boston Terrier that chewed my angle
A really scary garage
Baseball, foot ball and war in "The Field"
Who knew then that the open commode
in the basement was for "The Help"
94 years of experience and wisdom shared with you guys. What a blessing

Thanks to Charlie jr. for bringing your Dad over to the shop a few weeks ago so we could visit with each other. Our Dads were good neighbors and friends, and they are together again.
