Lieut Wright's parents, for-mer
residents of Frecport.
On Dec. 23, they resumed
their trans-country journey via
St. Louis, spent Christmas Day
in Oklahoma City and on to
Amarillo, Tex. From Albuquer-que,
N. M., Mrs. Wright wrote
her parents in part as follows on
tht Rockies, it started to bliz-zard
11 I never saw such thick
flakes and how they did come
down! The road was curvy, hilly
and slippery. Our rear tires were
smooth and we could hardly get
up the hills. Every so often John
would get out to wipe the wind-shield
and even then we couldn't
set very much.
"One time when we stopped,
another car stopped right ahead
of us. The driver of it got out
and said that he was having fuel-pump
trouble. He asked if we
would push his car into town,
saying that his wife and baby
were in the car and that he was
worried. {about jthem |having {to
spend the night in the blizzard.
We had an awful time pushing it
because it was a large car. One
hill was made only after repeated
efforts. I can't begin to tell you
"Yesterday was lots of -fun!
We only drove 289 miles ~irc%:i
Amarillo to Albuquerque — but
a lot happened in between. We
left Amarillo about 9:30 a.m..
without having breakfast. We
decided that could be obtained
along the way. Once out of helped John get a couple of
lots of cars in the ditch and
many overturned,. Finally we
reached Albuquerque.
"To make a long story short,
it turned out that the man we
pushed into town owns a large
service station here. Today he

town, we realized that there
were miles and miles of space
and then we'd hit a town with
just about five buildings. We
stopped in one of these little
towns—Vega, Texas — for break-fast
in the only restaurant there.
"It was real atmospheric, with
cowboys having their morning
coEEce. We filled our thermos
bottles with coffee and drove
on miles and miles without see-ing
anything but cattle, horses
and expanse. I said to John:
'Wouldn't it be exciting if we
were to have car trouble way
out here?' We went over the next
little hill and saw a car headed
toward us but standing still and
an Army lieutenant fussing with
the engine. So we stopped to
help them. John tinkered for
about art hour, but the distribu-tor
was 'shot', so we pushed the
other car 34 miles to the nearest
town. We met "ho other car the
whole distance.
"In Santa Rosa, we found a
man to fix_ the disabled car and
