Even back then Tim ready to go, he was quite a fisherman as a youngster. I am not sure, but I think that it is Bill looking on in the background. Maybe he was getting ready to deliver the latest edition of the Toledo Blade - a 25 year tradition of the Tripp kids of Metamora.
In the second picture you see mom doing the laundry before going on her 100 mile a day paper route. She delivered the Toledo Blade newpaper seven days a week with the assistance of her children through rain, snow, sleet and hail. The mixture of darkness, cold and the smell of coffee were the favorites of the Tripp children at 2:00 a.m. every Sunday morning.
Then there was the time that while delivering her route and Tim (as the co-pilot - a normal situation during his preschool days) when he reach out to put the paper in the paper tub and didn't quite get it in before mom drove off to the next paper box. Upon arrival she looked over only to find Tim not there. She was always a bit imbarrased telling the story about how she had neglected to realize that he had fallen out the window and was waiting for her to come back and get him.
