Car prank leads to a long lost tail and a famed road hazard
Retired dealer Mike Hewitt finds a coon tail on his new American car. The tail belonged to a high school graduate gift from decades ago and was reattached by Ro bert B Anderson, a creamery executive and school board member. The piece of history ties back to Anderson who kept the tail all these years. The state plans action on Coats Corner, noted as the county's biggest road hazard on US 59 south of Princeton.
