Driving it Home
Our daughter Jennifer and her husband, Ross Lilleker, had called to meet us in
Caldwell (about 25 miles from home) for an ice cream stop and to accompany us
back into Bryan. Surprisingly, Ross waited until after he had finished his ice cream before he
started inspecting the car. He had rebuilt the engine for Bruce Campbell when Bruce was restoring the car
and was happy to see that it has the power that it does.
When we pulled in the driveway, our daughter Tricia Barron was waiting for us. Tricia closed up her apartment and she and her dog Myers stayed in our house for
our entire time we were gone, taking care of our dogs, our home, and our
apartments and tenants. I could not have taken the trip without Tricia’s help in taking care of all the details of my life here at home. In addition to Marian Rose, who joined us one month into the trip, we have a
yellow lab puppy named Buddy. We are hopeful that one day he will be well-mannered enough to ride in the T
but, right now, he has to grow up a little.
We want to thank all of you who followed along on our journey from Alaska to
Texas. Thanks especially to those who wrote to tell us you were reading, offered a
suggestion, or just wished us well. It has been fun for both Ben and I but we are looking forward to being home for
a while. We hope that our trip might encourage you to get out a little more in your Model
T and take the backroads. Like our friend Bill Howell says “Model Ts: Half the speed, twice the fun.”
