Dear Doris and other Listers! Just a comment on that car of mine. I had a white one, bought it in Hillsboro, ND for $200 - drove it for nine weeks 13.500 miles between Culver, IN and Lincoln City, OR, north to southern SK and south to Lincoln NE, and sold it again in Minneapolis, MN for $150. I heard it was later driven in AZ where it was wrecked! But back to our favorite activity, genealogy! I am also hoping for more facts to show up about Nels cowboy Kins! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.
