For sentimental reasons: Cruising past 910 Vine Street in Beloit Wisconsin

 
Min and Lila Stark moved from 12th Street in Rockford to 910 Vine Street in Beloit in the early 1940s.  Th house remained in the family until after Lila died in 2002.

Lila is the third of Herman and Anna Nelson's 5 daughters, who are 'bookended' by their brothers Ford, the oldest, and my dad Carl, the youngest.
