    Description

    This mola is 12" X 17".  While growing up in the Panama Canal Zone, many boys and girls in our housing area would play in fields around us. A local young man would frequently stop to offer us a coconut for a nickel. All of us kids liked coconut so the young barefooted man would simply climb up the palm and cut a coconut down. Then he'd whack the husk off, cut the top, flip out that white meat and serve us the milk in the clean top; followed by flipping out the rest of the meat for us. All of us kids would always have a nickel or dime in our pocket. Yes, it was early 1950s.
