Steve,

Which of our friends had a Model A? I remember a car, I think, but not who owned it.

Thanks,

Bubba

MANRY STARTED THE MODEL A THING WITH "THE POWER", A RODESTER. THEN I HAD TO GET ONE. I PAID $35 FOR A TWO DOOR. THEN HENRY JACKSON GOT A '29 MODEL A. WE GOT TO BRAGGING AND SET UP A RACE ON THE 4 LANE. COULDN'T DO THAT TODAY BUT BACK THEN IT WAS ALMOST DESERTED. SECRETLY R.E. FREEMAN AND HENRY RE-BUILT HENRY'S ENGINE. I THOUGHT PUTTING MOTHBALLS IN TH E GAS WOULD DO IT. WE STARTED ON A FLAG HELD BY A STORE KEEPER NEAR BARFIELDS. THE END WAS UP NEAR MORES MILL. HE EASILY PASSED ME AND IT COST ME$10.
