[Jolly Amaranto]

After college, an old high school buddy and I shared an apartment for a few years. Working good jobs we could both afford new cars. He bought an MGB. Many fun mile in that car taking road trips across the west.
However there was one very sad moment. We were heading back up from Laredo after a trip south of the boarder when I was driving and was pulled over by a Texas State Trooper. "What did I do wrong?"
Nothing, they were looking for my buddy to inform him that his Dad had passed away. Back in those days they actually would do that if the family requested it. What a bummer.
