The first car

Told by Aunt Joanne, recapping a visit with Grammy.

"As the cars were whizzing by Margie told me about her father's first car. It was a Willys Knight Roadster. It had a windshield in the front, but nothing along the side. "Mother didn't like it because she couldn't drive it", Margie said. One day when then were all out for a ride Bobby fell out! and onto the gravel. Margie said that if you look closely at his picture you can see a mark just under his eye from the gravel.

Bob Logue -1938
Dr. Joe Logue (Grampy) - 1955
After that Grampy Logue bought a different car with lots of room and plenty of places to sit. But, the children still fought over their favorite spot. "Mother liked this car much better because she could drive it. Daddy said he didn't want her to drive, but she did anyway," Margie said with a smile. She also told me that her father's first job was as a teacher. He taught grades one through eight and there were only two or three students in each grade."
