Them was the days.

[Ron Mummert]

I've been cleaning house, & sorting though piles of old photos & letters contained in about a dozen shoe boxes. I got to a stack of letters (remember letters?)sent by me to my folks during my military years of the sixties. (Mom saved everything). I began to read them all. One missive from the summer of '64 was sent home after I arrived back at my base in Monterey, CA; having driven there cross country from The Wash. DC area. in my '59 Olds 88, a distance of about 2900 miles. I gave dad the trip stats..... "The car ran great, Dad, only used 1.5 quarts of oil, & got 15.1 mpg at 80-90 mph" "Total gas bill was $75.00!" "But that included an expensive run through Wyoming where gas was 44 cents a gallon!!!"

Drill baby drill!

Ron.
