    I remember Rowland Motors just north of 29th, and the sign at the NW
    corner of 44th & May where the horses stayed in the shade and watched us
    drive by.

    Rowlands was at 27th and Walker, n.w. corner. They had the red and white Chevy with two front-ends. The guy that had the place used to go there 6 days a week. No cars on the lot but he was there every day until 2 or 3 years ago. There was a used dealer at 23rd and Robinson. It was on the s.w. corner. I think it was Brown's Used Car. They had a large neon clock on the billboard. "Now is the Time. This is the Place"

    The red/white chevy is still alive and owned by one of his Grandsons. When he quit coming over there he had passed away. The Grandson graduated from Grant in the late 60's. My wife does the '66 Grant reunions and at their last one the Red/White Chvy was there in person.....

    I remember Brown Motor Co. well, on s.w. 29th across from Jude 'N' Jody!! Their sign was in block letters and they only dealt in quality used cars. They were known for being rather expensive but quality. Their only real competetion in their class would have been D.H. Henry Used cars on 29th between Kentucky anD bLACKWELDER!

    First of all, I took the bold and itallic print off of your post! STOP IT!

    BUT! And it's a BIG BUT! You are correctomundo about Rowland's having a
    Chevy that had 2 front ends, painted red and white.

    Did Rowland have a daughter who was a total babe that graduated in @ 71?

    Not that it's important, I'm still in love with her. She didn't know me from
    Generals64 or USG60, but I'm still in love! Soonergirl26 I... well... you know...

    Yo' Debbie! Do you remember a short guy you may have taped a dime on
    a piece of paper with your phone number on it? Maybe that was Soonergirl...

    Okay, I'm back to abnormal...

    They wound up at the old Country Club (Triple A/ D&D) drive in on S.W. 59th for quite a few years...I think they were the last business in there!

    We should all take a lesson from Elvis! Fame, wealth and in the end all they could afford to do was bury him in the backyard.

    Not a big fan. I figured that out of all the times I've seen him jump off of
    that cliff that'd he'd finally miss. I quit betting on it a few years back.

    Yeah, we have the same hair style. It's kind of a Twitty look.

    SWomebody? Who was your English teacher?

    At any rate, I'm going to try and get one this week. No promises though.

    However, if any of the Memoryettes volunteer to show up in a bathing suit...
    I'll make it, I promise!
