5th Home in Centerville (1959 - 1965)

The family built a nice tri-level red brick home on Chase Lane, right next to Grandma and Grandpa Reid. They moved into this home 6 months after Julie was born and stayed there during for the birth of the rest of the family. Merle loved this new home.

Matthew's birthday celebration in the kitchen. Since it is around Thanksgiving he got pumpkin pie instead of cake and a juicy turkey leg to enjoy. (Nov. 1961)
