Sandy was kept busy organizing the food as it arrived and also giving tours. Nick showed up in one of his vintage cars and was whitelined on the back driveway where it created quite a stir. The “dining area” in the back yard was kept filled with people partaking of all the excessive amount of food, and thanks to our wonderful potluck providers, our serving tables with so many delicious choices, many of us made several trips back to sample more.

    A HARROWING RIDE IN A 1930 JORDAN RECALLING THE SMELLS OF OPEN CAR TRAVELS OPEN CARS LONDON TO BRIGHTON RUN WHAT’S IN A NAME? MY PROPOSAL TO GET THINGS ON TRACK A HARROWING RIDE IN A 1930 JORDAN My most harrowing experience while driving an automobile occurred back in 1934. The car I was driving was a 1930 Jordan "Airline Eight" sedan painted tan with crimson artillery wheels. My father had purchased it new and drove it for two years before he passed away and I found myself becoming my mother’s chauffer at the age of 16. It was early in December that my grandmother became quite ill and my mother wanted me to be at her bedside. We arrived at my grandmother’s house which was in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh about six miles away from Edgewood where we lived. I stayed and visited for about an hour with my grandmother and then prepared to leave. Imagine my surprise when I opened the front door to find it snowing heavily with over an inch on the ground already. It was at this moment that I realized that the chains were hanging up in our garage. With the cheerful optimism of a seventeen year old I decided that I could make it home safely if I drove up and down the streets slowly. All went well until I arrived at Wilkins Street which was three blocks long and quite steep except for a short level space where each cross street intersected. I started down the first hill and decided to shift into second gear.
