Uncle Millard and Uncle Floyd Neighbours

My Uncles, Millard and Floyd Neighbours in 1932. Floyd is wearing a bandage because he injured his ear in an accident in Florence, Colorado. He was a passenger in a vehicle that hit a tree, and he went through the wind shield, injuring his ear.

During the depression, Floyd, Bud (Clarence David Neighbors) and Millard all worked together. in Florence. The photo was taken in Westcliffe, Colorado.

Thanks for the help with the information to my cousin Louise Swisher, Floyd's daughter (hopefully I got it right). Floyd used to tell the kids that an Indian had tried to cut off his ear. Sounds like something one of my older brothers, or any one of my Neighbors Uncles, would have said. I got this photo (and some more) from Millard's granddaughter, Deborah Forsberg.

I love everything about this photo. The 1930 (I think) Colorado license plate...the car, the fact that the two brothers are soooo alike. Sit alike, hold their hands alike, tilt their head alike, grin alike. Quintessential Neighbors boys. It's like we were all made from the same pattern.

The car is a 1929 Ford Sports Coupe owned by Millard.

The car is a 1929 Model A Ford sport coupe. It has a cloth top that does not fold down like a convertible, a rumble seat and front fender-mounted spare tire. Pretty sporty car for its day. Thanks to Jim Conaway for the vehicle info.
