Driving Around

In about 1938 when Edwin was 8 or 9 he was going to Montpelier, Idaho with his parents, Lamar Perkins and Louise Banks, his sister Evelyn, his Aunt Ethel, and his grandma Banks (Eliza Ann Tubbs).  They were driving through Georgetown when they came around a corner a horse drawn wagon was blocking the road.  Lamar drove through the wide irrigation ditch.  When the car came up out of the ditch the dust flew.  He remembers shouting "Good Lord, Aunt Ethel get off of me!" because in all the bouncing, she had landed on top of him.
