FROM BALTIMORE
Dear Calvin;
While traveling down the road last weekend, with my wife and son in my 1950 Ford, I apparently fell asleep at the wheel. My wife woke me up and I was travelling 97 miles per hour, with a sharp turn ahead.
It threw that Ford in 2nd gear, held the gas down with one foot and the brake with the other.
Just as I thought I would make the turn, a big dog was in the road. We ended up on a 50 foot embankment, got out of the car with no damage at all to the Ford. You couldn’t drive a wheelbarrow through those trees.
The Fire Department had to saw the trees down to get us out. The only damage was one dead dog. A mystery to me.
