| During World War II, Aunt Doris lived with her parents-in-law while husband John was in Europe. Blanche's father, Grandpa Winters, was also living with them. One day Grandpa Winters insisted that he need to go to Wagoner, some 14 miles distant and he pressed Doris into driving him. In the old pre-war car, (I believe a 1939 Ford), braking was less than perfect. When she pulled into the angled parking in front of the drugstore in Wagoner the front wheel bumped the curb a little harded than she planned. As was usual in those days, there several people sitting on benches in front of the store. To add to Aunt Doris' embarassment, Grandpa Winters leaned out the open car window and yelled, "Make way! We are coming through!" In relating the story, Aunt Doris said, "I was chagrined." (Doris Gentry Lauterbach, as told to PLH) Great grandpa Winters apparently was not very mechanically gifted. When he drove he didn't do it with a feel for the vehicle, but more commanded it. To turn a corner he just turned the steering wheel, without concern for the physics involved, and more than once had a front wheel break off mid-turn. (George William Lauterbach, as told to PLH) When he would drive a vehicle into the garage, or barn, he sometimes would not quite get stopped before bumping into another parked there. He would excuse his mistake with, "George has plenty of money." Meaning if repairs were needed his son-in-law could afford them. (Doris Gentry Lauterbach, as told to PLH) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
