Pictures from Jane's Photo Album Jane's Grandpa Winter at Winterbourne

Jane tells a story about how she would bicycle all over the countryside by herself.  These pictures would be from around 1942.  She said that her best friend Ester was from a poorer family and was not able to afford a bicycle.  I think she bicycled to her grandparent's place here.  She is shown at their farm (called Winterbourne) with her father's father.  Years afterwards on a visit to Iowa (perhaps at her stepmother's funeral) people came up to her and said that they never understood why her father would allow her to travel by herself like that.  She thought this was silly:  after all, everyone was watching her.

The quote from Whitman goes "The long brown path before me leading wherever I chose."
