    Well I did have one more photo of my aunt and me. I guess this one has a little better view of the engine. Vigilant, I have no idea if it was chain drive or not.

    A photo of my father George Taylor and me taken at Mt. Woodside in 1961. Dad was probably driving for Pretty on Harrison Lake at the time. HDX was kind enough to ID the truck for me... a Kenworth with a Pacific grill.
