Hallie went on to California. I went with him to the R.R. yards and watched him get on a freight headed down the coast. He made it O.K. I saw him twice after that. He joined the army and stayed in until he was killed at the Battle of the Bulge in Dec, 1944.
I left Portland the next day by bus and went to Spokane and then on to the town the Plymouth was in. I remember eating supper in Spokane. A small eating joint around the corner from the bus depot. It wasn't Spokane's finest I'm sure. It may not even have been the worst joint in Town. But it was cheap. I got hamburger, steak, potatoes, bread & coffee for 15 cents. It was a good meal and I was glad to get it.
I got off the bus where the Plymouth was and went to the garage. The man in charge said he could give me $25 for it. Twenty five dollars was better then nothing so
