Between
about 1926 through 1977 Landy called the City of Milwaukee
home. He lived in several homes, but the first that they
owned was bought in 1958, the one he and Dorothy raised
their children in. It was on the south side, 3018 S. 65th
Court, to be exact. The house, a 2 bedroom ranch was soon
expanded into a 3 bedroom with a family room, and one
bath....for eight people. Four boys in one bedroom and two
girls in the other.
There
was an elementary school within walking distance, which was
also in view, which made Mom happy. Four of us started our
school years there at Fairview Elementary.
After
a few years, Landy added a 2 1/2 car garage. Throughout the
years many cars, boats, lawnmowers, etc., were repaired in
that garage.
Even
though the house was small by today's standards, it was home
and many great memories were born. Sharon and Gary came
along after the house was bought, so that was the only home
they ever knew.
The
photos below depict some of those great memories, like
birthdays, Christmas, holidays, graduations and building a
boat in the living room !@#*!... Yes, you read that
correctly. Landy was building a hydroplane boat from plans
out of Popular Mechanics in the dead of winter. He needed a
warm place for the fiberglass to dry, so he brought the boat
into the livingroom. Dorothy wasn't too happy, but she put
up with it like she put up with so many other things that
her husband and six kids could get into over the
years.
