Victory Mission.
I love antique cars. The 1963 Ford Falcon remains the greatest car
ever made in the USA. I bought my first one for $75. No heat, no
air, no radio, no automatic transmission. It was burgundy, with a
silver fender due to a wreck.
On a cold December morning, I totalled it in St. Louis. My only
regret is that I forgot to retrieve my "Jesus Save" license plate
before the wrecker hauled off the car.
That month wasn't a total disaster. On December 22, 1970, Ruth
consented to marry me.
