Sometimes it skips a generation. Some of my earliest memories are about old cars. My dad was a marine insurance broker, worked downtown in a suit and drove base-line second hand plymouths. I distinctly remember telling him at about 12 ys old that I was gonna buy an old bobtail semi tractor and mount a pickup box on it someday. In school I drew hot rods and trucks hidden by my open book. But my grandpa and great grandpa, both of whom I never met were wheeled pioneers. Grandpa, Benjamin Bailey Sisson owned and operated Sisson's Garage, the Ford agency in Wareham Ma , and his dad Harvey Handy Sisson ran a livery stable in West Harwich Ma, on Cape Cod and ran a stage coach line between there and Boston.

My folks were the runaways. They moved to Seattle in 1947 and I was born there in 1953. There is still a 'Sisson's Corner' in West Harwich.
