Default My garage wall...

I don't have a huge garage and therefore don't have much wall space.

But I do have a small area in front of where the Vette is parked.
  1. My Dad's hat
  2. My authentic "Vetfever Way" road sign
  3. My parking sign.

I really like your fathers hat. Very touching.

I have my fathers lunch box and his watch in the garage. Oddly after he passed it stopped at exactly 4:00 which was quitting time for him for 40 years in the same factory he worked at. Hamilton Gear on Dupont Street in Toronto.

Tx Murray. The 4:00 time thing is karma. I am sure you know the Hamilton Gear Bldg is still there. It's now a furniture store.

Jack, my Grandfather worked at Hamilton Gear as well. My father was a machinist during the war years and met my mother who worked there as a lathe operator. My Grandmother, Uncle and Aunt lived just down Dupont from there right beside the old Planters Peanuts Factory. At the time (early 1950's) my Uncle drove sprint cars for Jaguar Dealer Lloyd Shaw. Never knew what you might see there.

I have been in the HG building a few times (Johnston Furniture?) and it always brings back a lot of memories. They used to set up stands right on the corner of the building for all the kids as that is where the Santa Claus Parade used to start from.
