On a summer vacation, my parents pose in the front of the house on Charles Street in Rockford, Illinois, where Dad grew up.
Despite their isolation in Auburn Washington, Mom and Dad regular drove long distances, in the days before the Interstate highway system to visit family. Auburn, Washington, and Rockford are nearly 2000 miles apart.
