SOCIAL DISTANCING DAY 175. This clock is from a WW1 ambulance, brought back from France by my grandfather who was in charge of a motor pool. Currently my mom is “on lockdown” in assisted living and writing down stories for Facebook. Here’s her story from today: “Motor Pool. As you may have noticed, I like to tell stories. It’s a family thing. My Dad, two of my brothers and a cousin were all great story-tellers, or raconteurs, if you will. There was one story of my Dad’s that we all loved, and at family gatherings, we always asked for it. It was about the time he almost smashed up Gen. Pershing’s personal car in W.W. I. Dad was about as non-mechanically inclined as a man could be, but he was great at organization, so when he arrived with the American army in France, he was assigned to the motor pool in Nancy. Never went near an engine, but could draw up rosters and keep books like no other and he soon became motor pool head. A shipment arrived of luxury automobiles destined for Gen. Pershing and his staff. I don’t know what the top of the line cars were in 1917, but that’s what they were. After they were checked out by the guys at the motor pool, it was Dad’s job to assign drivers to get them to Pershing and his guys at the front. “Everybody wanted to go to the front,” he recalled, “so I assigned myself to drive one.” Whatever the car was, it was more than he was used to, however, and he soon fell behind in the motorcade. Rushing to catch up, he came over the top of a hill and was horrified to find that the rest of them had stopped. Hydraulic brakes were far, far in the future. Dad pressed on the mechanicals with all his might, but it wasn’t enough. However, he spotted a pile of ashes that had been dumped by the road in anticipation of winter, so at the last minute, he steered the car up on that. And it stopped in time. The officer in charge of the motorcade ran up and shook his hand. “That was one swell piece of driving!” he told Dad. And Dad always added, “I said to myself, ‘that was one swell piece of luck!’” #worldwar1 #familystory #motorpool #nancyfrance #pershing #swellpieceofdriving #quarantinelife (at Noblesville, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE8MEihlMbR/?igshid=1il47u8w9qfd2
