Something of Interest
Something of Interest Did you read the Car Accident article about the person suing our client. About how he thought he had enough time to cross the road in front of our client. Well, you might find this interesting about how we all connect to the universe. In 1969 I thought I would treat us to a trip to Europe. To catch our flight from New York City to Rome, we needed to get there from Tampa where we were living at that time. We looked into "Drive A Car." We got approved by the Drive A Car company and they gave us gas money, $110.00 and a new Camaro to drive to Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Off we went, heading to New York City were we had family and friends. I left my wife in New York and drove by myself to Woods Hole to deliver the Camaro. Preparing to leave my wife in New York City, my wife asked, "How much money do you need for the trip to Woods Hole?" "Let me see. Gas, get the car washed, bus ticket, I'd say about $20.00," was my reply. With $20.00 in my pocket out on the road I go. Driving through New Jersey via the Jersey Turnpike to Boston, to Woods Hole. Now I'm from Florida. At the time, we did not have toll roads. Needless to say by the time I got to Woods Hole and cleaned the car I was shy $1.00. I had a credit card but no one would allow me to buy something and get $1.00 in change. I walked around for a little while until I saw the ferryboat master preparing to load the car I had delivered on to the ferryboat. I approached the ferryboat master and asked if he would lend me a dollar. "Well you look like you have an honest face," he said as he took out a dollar and handed it to me. I thanked him and told him that when I got back to New York City I would send him the dollar. I got my bus ticket. Got on the bus and headed for New York City. While traveling to New York City, the bus driver stopped short sending a young lady past me hurling toward the front of the bus. I reached out and grabbed her keeping her from being thrown forward. She thanked me and asked me where I was headed. I told her and her friend that I was going to New York City. Then I told them the story I just told you. The girl asked if I had anymore money. "No," was my reply. "Well your going to need a subway token to catch the subway out to Flushing. Here, take these two tokens," she said. I get to New York City, get the subway train to Flushing. I got off the train I thinking I new where I was, but I was wrong. Must have gotten one or two stops too soon or too late. I walked around awhile until I got to a gas station that looked familiar. Inside I got a drink of water from the public water fountain. I asked the gentleman on duty if he could loan me a dime to call my wife. I take out the phone number, call my wife, she says she'll be right over to pick me up. When my wife arrived I ask her for a quarter to give the gentleman. This is when I discovered I no longer have my wallet. I ask the gentleman if he had seen it. "No," he replied. Now I know I had the wallet when I entered the gas station so where could it be. The police were called card because the wallet had my credit card in it. No one could find the wallet or the credit card. As we where headed to Europe the next night, we had to forget about the wallet. But we had to call the credit card companies and let them know. Off we went to Europe. Little money and only one credit that we might be able to use. We had a great time even if our money resources were limited. Returning to the United States and home a week and half later, we check our mail box. Guess what? My wallet was there credit card and all. The wallet went through the mail without being placed in an envelope! We mailed the ferryboat master a ten dollar bill explaining why I had not sent the dollar sooner. Two months later while interviewing the accident participant mentioned above, I learn he was the Chief of Police of Woods Hole, MA. I gave this accident participant another ten dollar bill and asked him to say "Hello" to the ferryboat master and explain what had happened. The Chief of Police of Woods Hole lost his case to our client. I never found out if he ever told the ferryboat master my "Hello." Strange universe, don't you think. This really happened.
