Back in the day, wood floors didn't come prefinished and to keep them nice they used paste wax and a big buffer to shine them up. To make the buffing more effective, it needed a little more weight, hence, getting the kids to ride the buffer! As we grew, we all got our turn on the buffer and would actually fight for the privledge. This is a rare picture of Greg getting to do that and help his Dad ! Not only did we do this at home, but also at our grandparents where we also had cousins fighting over the buffer ride. Simple fun during a simple era.
