quote:--Buster to his mother in law after she ruled that Buster and his wife have separate bedrooms, c. 1925
"I’m just going to let you know right now I am not going to take a mistress and support her, or do anything like that. I will not be spending any money on women and throwing my money around. But if I can’t get it at home, I’m going to get it somewhere. And there’s a lot of free stuff out there. If you forbid your daughter to sleep with me, I’ll go outside and get it.”

June 21 1955. Sam Gray, David Rutford and Fred Hallberg begin their cruise down the Mississippi river from Saint Paul Minnesota on a homemade raft. The raft was built of barrels and planks. Power for the propeller was provided by a 1939 Chevrolet they had paid $ 15 for. the car had 172,000 miles on it. The rear wheels of the car ran against another set of wheels which turned the propeller. The car's steering wheel turned the raft's rudder.
In Saint Louis Missouri the men had a delay as the Chevy's valves needed to be ground. Outside of Memphis Tennessee a bearing on the propeller shaft burned out but the men were able to repair it with tools borrowed from a barge crew. The men ran low on food as they discovered a stowaway was eating their food. The stowaway was a rat. The men tried fishing for food but caught nothing the entire trip.
Other problems encountered included mosquitoes, driftwood in the river and backwash from passing barges. On July 25 1955 the trio reached New Orleans. They planned to drive the Chevrolet back to Minnesota.
Epilogue. The three men made it back to Saint Paul driving the Chevrolet in 49 hours. The car used five gallons of oil for the return drive.

This is where Mrs. Bernice G. Carr lived back then, as it appears today. Her parking space for unit 103 is on the left side of the photo (the spaces are non-sequential):
Look how low the windows are for the first floor. Must be semi-basement; and they have a lower water table in that area. .
