More Ancient History

In anticipation of the Class of 92's twentieth reunion, a classmate has been evoking nostalgia over on facebook. As she was keeping company with Ludwig's owner at the time (McDonald), some of her pictures feature Ludwig back in the days when he was a teenager.

Ludwig (though McDonald never called him that) at 1502 Gumwood, Stanton Nebraska.

That's our buddy Cookie flashing the peace sign. He was a fellow gearhead who owned a 65 Mustang. McDonald's in the driver's seat.

His automotive experience being in 'Merican Ir'n, Cookie was always more than a little mystified by our VWs--the engine's in back? and it's that small? and there's no radiator? and the cylinders are set up across from each other?--but he was game to help now and then. He died of cancer last year.
