You Never Forget

From Juel:

I remember one day late in November, after Sanford was no longer able to drive in Logan, there was a couple inches of snow on the ground.   I was in a pick-up truck with Sanford behind the wheel; right there in front of the barn Sanford spun a cookie for the fun of it.  I was in the passenger seat and I just kinda looked over at Sanford and raised one eyebrow.  He looked back and said, “Once you learn, you never forget.”  Well, later that day we were headed down to the flat.  This time with me in the driver’s seat.  Due to slick conditions, I missed the corner there by Henrie’s and went into the borrow pit, up along Gordon’s fence for a way, then back through the borrow pit and onto the road without slowing down.  And away we go on down the road.  Sanford looks over at me with one eyebrow raised.  I countered, “Once you learn you never forget!”  We had some great times together.

  1. This just makes me giggle to think about. Haha... what I remember of Sanford's driving was that it took what seemed like an hour for him to get from the dairy over to his house... so him spinning a cookie is hysterical!!!
