wavygravy,did you look anything at all like your grampa at the age of the photo compared to your same age? That's so awesome that he rode what's essentially today's motored bike. It's almost freaky.
Imagine where that bike is today....probably long gone.

BTW- J.C. Higgins bicycles were manufactured by the Murray Manufacturing Co. Murreay Ohio. You know Murray brand bikes? Yeah, them.
BTW- Thanks for the history, I now know that my recently acquired Ted Williams lever action .30-.30 is from around the early sixties!
Returning the topic to Wavy, hey thanks again for talking with me about your family and the history while sharing the photographs! I love, and live for, that sort of thing. Please do share all those wonderful photos with the rest of the group.
Take care friend...
