Marshall and the Crosley

 

 
I know that I have sent this out before.  This is my oldest brother, Marshall, a Senior at Levelland High School.  The car is a Crosley station wagon, red; I'm thinking it was a 1947 model - could be wrong.  3 on the floor, stick shift.   My father had a love for weird little cars, way before tiny cars were accepted as normal.   Also had a 1952 blue Crosley pickup and a 47 English Ford.   

The year was about 1953.  At one time, boys in Levelland picked up this car and set in above the steps to the HS gym.   Apparently, it wasn't too heavy.   As an FYI, Crosley was made by the Crosley radio company and sold through Crosley stores at this time. 

We moved to Levelland in 1952 for Marshall's last year in HS.  He made some life long friends.

law suit

 Sometimes I get these post card announcements about a pending class action law suit to which I can become a member - no cost to me.  Sometimes (again) I say, "Sure, why not?"  And, I'll complete the paperwork to share in the bounty.

Today, I checked my bank account online.  There in the middle of the sheet it said:  proceeds.   

Aseltine v BANA Class Settlement

They deposited the amount directly into my bank account.   now, I can tell you, I have never given anyone my bank account number - ever.  Oh, No.  Why would you do that?  Oh, No.

But there it was.  

WE WON!!!

My share?

$0.18

I have not the slightest idea what this is about - it rings no bells.  That's not enough to buy a Big Gulp.

eighteen cents -- joy, joy, joy
