| Mike's three-sided playpen as it was in 1948 |
The three-sided playpen as it was in 1948. It kept me in one place and gave my mother a chance to watch my youngest sister, Cindy, who was a baby at that time.
When was the last time you saw a car like this driving down the road?
Milk cans were interesting toys and cheap, too!

| Mike Koffler, Winifred Depot 1948 |
It was here at this depot where my dad walked me out to the side of the tracks where the powerful trains were. One day he placed a fairly good sized stick of wood under the wheel of a slow-moving caboose. With the Montana Elevator Company building framing the background,I watched the wood "snap" like a toothpick and had no desire to go near those trains again.
