1950's Snowman - Update!

I'm hoping that one of my aunts will be able to tell us why (and how) this snowman has such long arms. As with most things, Daddy probably had a story about it...

Dad's sister explained: As for the snowman, it had a plank stuck through it which he packed snow around to make arms for the snowman. Before, we had always put sticks for arms. I was in high school, so he was probably in junior high.

The really fascinating part of this story, for me, happened when I found this picture from 1992. According to Alyson, Dad helped her build the arms - the same way he had 40 years earlier!
