Just a couple of driving stories. Aunt Roses would take John out to practice driving in Regina prior to the test. One time, John suddenly put his foot on the screeching brakes and nodded his head allowing the pretty girl ahead of him to jaywalk. Mom, after grabbing the dashboard to prevent falling, asked why he had done it. After replying "Courtesy of the road", Mom responded "Courtesy be damned, you nearly caused a 3 car accident". (fyi Mom rarely swore). Another road story involved Aunt Roses and John with Mom driving and John as observant passenger: Stopping at a red light, the car beside them had teens daring Mom (the old lady) to race her powerful Oldsmobile. Mom played along and revved her engine and quickly took off when the light turned green. After being first off the mark, she immediately slowed down and pointed her finger at John saying "Don't let me ever catching you doing that". Have already told the family how proud we were of John rescuing mother and child caught in their car under the rail tunnel when there was sudden flooding in Regina. Remembering John on his birthday and throughout the year. He is in our hearts. Linda
