Memories of Betsy

I'll write more later. Can you all add to this?

• Long drives to Utah for every family vacation
• Not knowing if Besty would make it in one piece
• T.V. and movies as we drove, except someone got to sit up front to keep Dad company as he drove ALL NIGHT
• He'd wake up when he hit the bumpy side of the highway.
• Jam sandwiches in the "fridge" and those cherry pies at gas stations. Granola bars and the kind of cookies Dad liked
• Not stopping for the many bathroom breaks--instead he'd make us wear a diaper, or he'd flip the doors of the van open as a shield for when he pulled over and we'd pee on the side of the road
• There was a table in her. What ever happened to that?
• All kids drove her. All kids got into accidents in her.
• She didn't need a key, just don't lock the steering wheel
• $$$ to fix, but Dad couldn't let her go
