On Friday, June 25, 1937, returning to Washington, DC, from vacation in Osceola, Dale wrote, “Got up early and drove 518 miles from Peoria to Cambridge, Ohio, and stayed at a cabin camp. Had the car checked over. Wrist-pins loose.” With him were Helen and Stanley and Dale’s mother, Jettie. That car was their 1930 Ford Model A, like the one below.
