Show ROYCEFLANDRO March 21, 2000 Then dad, when he went into the service, had to get a car ofhis own, and he bought a Studebaker. So those were the cars that we used. I remember we had a 1929 Chevrolet two-door at one time, too. We used to ride in the open trunk. We would ride in the back and sing. We went on lots of outings. We went up to Washington Park. The folks had certain people they had outings with. We also had meals down at the Liberty Park. We would go down there for a meal, and take our fo9d, and have all kinds of activities there.

I remember many times on Sunday morning he would say, "You getup and getofftopriesthoodmeeting. You have got to go. If you are going to be a member of anything you are going to be a good one. You be there every time." So he would get us up, and we would have to go to priesthood meeting. So he gave full support there. But the scouting program was very good at St. Paul's.
