My dad (a soldier who worked at Fort Know) took it off. Mom reasoned that since it was her car from before they were married, she could do what she wanted to it. He could always take the other car on base (which he never did). She got out the paint and we painted big peace signs on both front doors. I remember helping her do that. He drove it on base every day like that! It's no wonder they ended up divorcing!EMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184610448953398696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-20239517659541897782014-10-26T15:40:45.434-05:002014-10-26T15:40:45.434-05:00LOVE the bug!!!

Awful! And riding the bus without other kids your age. What a lot of "standing out" that must have been to endure as a child.
