(i was about 5 years old, lived on a street that the convoy of convertibles with the lovelies passed by, and i had a cousin serving aboard (the boat, not the convertibles nor the lovelies))

(now living up north, planted an azalea bush out front, but no convertibles ever drive by......  sigh!)

shoulda made this one a Whatzis.  woulda been the first one i ever got correct on the first try!
