Abstract
In the summer of 1936 after weeks of scorching heat, my parents decided to visit my grandparents in Neligh and Clearwater, Nebraska. We got into the 1932 Terraplane which my dad had bought with his veteran's bonus from World War I and headed out through Seward, Columbus, Norfolk, Oakdale, to Neligh. My grandmother's big Victorian house was on North Main Street at the foot of Standpipe Hill and its big yard and porches did, in fact, seem cooler after the 100 degree heat in Lincoln
