The Baer Family 1910
Fritzie and Louise Baer  were together for over 61 years.
Gram often told the story of their first meeting. She had taken a walk down a country road like the one in this picture with a girlfriend. Two motorcyclists drove past them and they exchanged waves. The riders stopped and turned around. Gram caught Gramp’s eye and her offered her a ride. She declined but he decided to continue their conversation and walked along with her.  As you can tell by Gramp’s caption on this picture, he was not a shy man.
1923 Indian Chief and Princess Sidecar This was the model Indian that Fritzie owned when he met and courted Louise Wredberg.
Gramp’s Album 1923
Gramp’s Album 1923 They rode Gramp’s Indian from Worcester, MA to Albany NY to get married. They stopped before getting to the city hall so that Gram could change from her riding clothes into a dress. This picture was from their honeymoon, taken at the entrance to Saratoga Springs, NY.
Gramp’s Album 1923 One year in the late 1970’s, I flew down to Florida in order to drive Gram and Gramp back to New Hampshire in the Cadillac. I liked to get them talking about their life together with Gram sitting in the front seat next to me and Gramp in the back puffing on his cigar.  This picture was one of the stories. It seems that Gramp said to one of these boys, “I like your pitchfork.” to which the young boy replied, “It’s not a pitchfork, it’s a dung fork.” Well, this comment got both of them laughing so hard that Gram had tears in her eyes. Gramp then added to the story with something about the cows they saw on the Vermont hillsides, who had legs of different sizes so they could stand straight on a hill. This got Gram laughing even more. At the time, I didn’t get the humor but their laughs were infectious as they remembered those honeymoon days so long ago.
Gramp’s Album 1923 With white shirt and tie, Indian sweater, riding jodhpurs and boots, Gramp cut a fine figure as an early motorcyclist.  It is easy to see how a 16 year old girl working as a nanny would fall head over heels in love.
Gramp’s Album 1923
Gramp’s Album 1923 In a 1983 newspaper article on Gram and Gramp’s 60 th  wedding anniversary, the reporter as Gramp about the secret to their six decades as a couple. Gramp answered him with, “I picked a girl who would put up with me.” I have always loved this picture of my 16 year old grandmother, wrapped in her rain gear in the sidecar of a motorcycle, now married to a 22 year old rebellious adventurer. How well she adapted herself to Gramp’s life that revolved around motorcycles. She was a true partner in their relationship and an anchor to his life and her family.

Gramp’s Album 1923
Gramp’s Album 1923 The newly weds stopped at the home of Knut and Silja Astrom in Fitchburg, MA. They must have been very proud of their Model T. As you can see from the shine on Gramp’s Indian, that even though they had traveled hundreds of miles on dirt roads through NY, VT and NH, that cycle was immaculate.

They would get sodas and  hot dogs for every full case of bottles they collected.

Gramp & The Kids
One of Uncle Tom’s chores every Saturday was to clean up the floors of Grampa Baer’s Indian dealership at the Indian Factory on State Street in Springfield, MA. This was some type of celebration, maybe an Open House, that they were having in 1938
