I wasn't allowed to take the family car to Van Wert, Mac. I was allowed to go to Lamoni for vet supplies or Leon for farm machinery parts or back & forth with my brothers when we were showing animals at the County Fair in Leon. I think I ran errands for my dad to Mount Ayr and back home. But I wasn't allowed to go to Van Wert. I always minded my Mom & Dad - waited to rebel when I got into college and out from under the parental roof. Now, a couple of years *cough*cough* later, I still don't go to Van Wert or know many of the back roads around Van Wert. I did attend Van Wert's Centennial Celebration with my kid though. But I took Highway 69 north out of Leon.
