People today ought to be thankful they have seat belts to put on in their cars and trucks.
In 1955, about his time, I wasn’t so lucky when hitting a surprise slick spot on the highway from spotted rain storms.
We, my brother and me, skidded and rolled over several times, which landed me for observation in a hospital for about four years.
I had tried to go back to college after the accident, after being awarded the Saudzeu scholarship in Art. But I couldn’t function, so couldn’t make use of it.
Seat belts would’ve kept my head from smashing the top of the cab in the rollover in 1955. As said, those today ought to be thankful for seat belts and protections that prevent taking at least part of your life away.
Sincerely,
Jim Brownrigg
Iola, Kan.
