I Was Born Early In Life*at a very young age, (so was my mother)

My family history is rather confusing as it is filled with adoptions and new families. My Mother Gladys was given away for adoption in 1926 for reasons that were never told to me...but her mother's name was Mitchell. Henry and Martha Dawson adopted my mother while living in Marion Ohio in 1924  . Henry is shown here pushing my mother in the buggy in 1925 in front of their house at 790 Merkle Ave., Marion ,Ohio....
Later after my mother died in 1950 Henry and Martha adopted me, I think that they were in their 60's.

Oil smoke

my car cost me 1,700 dollars to get right with the smog people so I could my car registered, I watch them burn oil creating plums of black smoke, perhaps they could give me back my money because my car never did anything like I see in the Gulf of Mexico
