On Tuesday, April 7, 1953, Dale and family drove home from Osceola to Muscatine. I got to drive part of the way. This was good training, since many Iowa highways at the time were narrow, two-lane roads, so learning steering techniques to stay in lane at highway speed was important. Learning when and how to pass other vehicles was critical. Dad was a good teacher, since we all survived my driving.

He must have been a good teacher indeed. You taught us (or some of us anyway) on some of those Iowa country roads, too. And here we are several decades later. Still driving. Still teaching our kids. :)
