Here's An Old Photo!

Taken in 1929......2 years after the bridge was built. The bridge is still standing today.

Is that Doug or Fred crossing the border?

Damn!!!! It is Fred driving and me walking beside the car!!! He was a wild a$$ed driver way back then, too! ...and you thought Clyde Barrow could make that 32 Ford V-8 sing!!??!! Lots of Rum Runnin' back in the day......now we are just mellow ole dudes, who burn a chunk or two of black rocks, and try to stay warm. Indians were still raiding the settlements when Fred and I were boys......Orville and Wilber sent us telegrams frequently......back before the Govt took over our way of life.....
Tanks for the mammaries, Bob!!!

PS: That was the last time I wore a tie and jacket, too!!!!!!

I'm still not sure I got enough for being the wheel man on that venture, but, damn it was fun & things were definitly simpler.Wilber & Orville sure were glad we got that stuff through. I still think you cut quite the figure all dolled up like that. Ahhhh, mammaries indeed.

You would think Bob would let sleeping Dawgs lie, but oh no.....next thing he will reveal is our old expression: "What happens in Maine, Stays in Maine" That ISN'T just for Vegas, and we coined it before Bugsy even went out in the damned desert.

I would be 50 years before Fred slowed down enough to have a brand new officer pull us over and ask: "Where is the fire, Mario?" To answer the question Fred would casually say: It's a young filly down in Eastport!"

Belated thanks to the Maine State Police for supporting that noble quest to satisfy a burning desire! They are tough, but they have a softer side in an emergency. I think it was nearly 6 months before Fred could wipe that smile off his face after that weekend. We thought it might take surgery, but he looked soooooo good grinning like that.........WTF.
