Anniversaries
Three couples, all of whom
were married on Dec. 17,
recently celebrated their an-
niversaries together.
Harper’s Corner Restaur-

Dallas was the scene for the
celebration.
Noting their 15th anniver-
sary were Jim and Betty

have been married for 25
years.
THEY TRULY MISS the good times they had on the
way back and forth from work. The friendship that
developed has held fast.
On the way to work one day one of them suddenly had a
kidney stone attack. After discussing whether to dump him
along the road or take him to the hospital they, in mutual
consent, decided to take him to the doctor. It was his turn to
drive the next week.
Sad was the day that the car pool had to split up because
some of them moved. But great are the memories that took
place and, after all, memories are wonderful things to keep
and hold onto at the beginning of a new year.

THEY CONSIDERED themselves lucky when it was the
week for anyone to drive instead of my husband. We had the
worst car. The windows were taped up with black electrical
tape.
So, they smothered in the heat of the summer. Our car
was the only one that didn’t have a heater,, so, they nearly
froze in the winter. We did provide each rider with a quilt on
the days the tempture dropped to freezing.
The clutch of our car was a little tricky to work. They

husband down Fifth Avenue, downtown Fort Worth. The
car jumped and leaped for blocks as pedestrians gawked
along the way.
I KNOW MANY CAR POOLS are being used now because
of the energy crisis and the economy. I hope the friendship
that my husband and his riders found is being found today.
One of the things I know took place during those rides to
and from work was the solving of the world’s problems.

■ WeVe talked about having a car pool party but most of us
are so busy around the new year that in the last fifteen years
weVe managed to have only one.
The car pool I’m speaking of is not the one that now
exists. It was the group of men that rode to work together
with my husband soon after we married. Duane, Terry,
Eddie, Jerry and later Lem.
They rode to work together not because of the energy
crisis, but because of the economy crisis.
Eighteen years ago, when this took place, they were all in
the same boat. They worked for the same company, were
raising their families and had a lack of money.
The car pool provided them with a way to save money and
these guys became very close because of the daily contact.
They lived in the same area so they took up hunting
together, fishing together, and they even palyed softball
together on the company team.
