George Sooklaris bought a home on the outskirts of town.  His backyard was as far as the eye could see, in the hills of Carbon County.  And, as most people of agrarian roots, he had a tractor.

A tractor in those days, was much like a battery powered go-cart of today, to a wild pack of 3, 5, and 7 year old kids.  And in those days, you are pretty much born with a drivers license.  You only need to wait until you are tall enough to reach the pedals.

For George, Gus, and Tony, they made sure that their kids were able to drive at the earliest age possible.  It was normal business back then, almost unthinkable today....at least for city folk.

Shot in Price Utah by Anthony Sooklaris in 1960.
