I was 11, I'd just started 6th grade; then, after we moved to "115," I joined the Boy Scout troop Gordon was in (and you have to be 11 to join the scouts).<br /><br />She was still alive, but dying when we moved back into town. She went to stay with Aunt Annie in Milwaukie, and died sometime later.

What fun and imaginations we had when we lived out there. And yes, the address was 20135 W Dice.<br /><br />I’m not sure on the date, but I think maybe later than 1963.
