Arthur Halford

Art was a salesman, a streetcar conductor, and later a bus driver until he retired. He supplemented his income by doing handyman work for a neighbor, Mrs. Gilman. Art was a very talented carpenter. When his daughter, Dianne, was a child, he built her a handsome wooden car powered by a lawnmower engine. He also created an elaborate miniature model farm for his niece, Arlene Wintczak, which she used in teaching her students.
