I suspect she had a great time with the chimps and didn't want to say goodbye. :-)<BR/><BR/>Nice story here also and I certainly agree about the left turns. They're inheriently more dangerous--and the poorer depth perception of old age makes left turns even more treacherous! As for the meeting the Dad at the trolley stop---I was wondering how they knew if he was walking that day or taking the trolley. I guess he could have called but I don't know if phones in the home were common in Des Moines in the late 30s and 40s...I wasn't born until 1961 and even then we only had party lines available to us.utenzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988445461413550750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10194064.post-1155523802423486752006-08-13T21:50:00.000-05:002006-08-13T21:50:00.000-05:00That's a great story.
