(24) Jerry Wilkinson at age 16, standing in front of the house on S. 11th Street in
New Castle, Indiana. This was designed and built by Herman Wilkinson in 1949.

(25) Herman and Jerry Wilkinson. I am told this was taken to celebrate Jerry getting
his first car. Now, is this the car that Bev crashed while taking driving lessons?

(26) Herman Wilkinson standing in his basement with the boat that he built with Jerry
and friends. This was not the only boat built in a basement in Jerry's circle of friends.
By the time my memories begin at Lake Wawasee this boat is gone. Where did it go?
