My Driver’s License  (continued)

Back then, there was no waiting period, so I was ready to drive, alone! I think that on the first day that I received my permanent driver’s license, I drove my mother’s car to a baseball game where my Appleby friend, Murray Cole, was playing.

I was so “proud” that I could “show off” to my friend! Learning to drive, through Mr. Ham, has led me to a lifetime love of driving and of cars. That I am still here, and able to drive safely, is a tribute to both Hugh and my dad. The fact that Hugh and his driving school were customers of my father’s insurance agency, didn’t hurt!
