Ruth reminices about how her oldest brother, Ted, would get old clunkers with a rumble seat to fix up, and when they were in the backyard on Seventh East and later on Bryan Avenue in Salt Lake City how they would "stargaze" at night (and in the summer daytimes she and her siblings would enjoy cloud watching and imagine different shapes and characters they represented).

Here's what a rumble seat looks like.  This 1930 automobile may have been too new for what Ted was working on when Ruth was a youngster in the mid 1930s.
