The day I left R0chester it sn0wed tw0 feet and I hadt0 sh0vel sn0w f0r h0urs t0 get nny car 0ut. I dr0ve t0Canandaigua and left all 0f nny things with nny father. I leftthe car with a friend wh0 w0rked at a gas stati0n d0wn by thelake and he st0red it in his barn. I 0wed s0nne 0n it but theyc0uldn't c0llect fr0nn y0u while y0u were in the service.After I was in the arnny ab0ut a year, I wr0te t0 hinn and t0ldhinn t0 let it g0 back t0 the finance c0nnpany. I d0n't kn0w whyI didn't keep it 0r at least let s0nne0ne in the fannily finishthe paynnents. It was a very g00d P0ntiac and I didn't 0we nn0rethan a c0uple hundred d0llars 0n it. In the service y0u s00ng0t the feeling that y0ur chances 0f living thr0ugh the warwere pretty slinn.
