I just got my Monarch Western Flyer 24" bike with whitewall tires and a battery operated front light. That is just about as good as it gets. It was Christmas, we lived in Tulsa, dad worked for a men's clothing store, the "War-to-end-all-wars was over. My big brother Edward was home after serving as a gunner on a tank in that war. All was right with the world. (That's Edward on my right and dad on my left.)
