Uncles often play a very special place in families, and can be a great support. Amazing how liberating bicycles can be. When I started Grade nine we were able to afford the ten dollars for a red bicycle a kind neighbour had put together for me from bits and pieces of other bikes. I called it Napoleon because it was made of 'bones-apart'. After I finished school my sister rode Napoleon, and we all flew like the wind!Hildredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420791064923078834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983894689198056584.post-19571452379949802622011-06-08T10:46:23.903-05:002011-06-08T10:46:23.903-05:00So sad.
