The Gue the Gue reset OF POLIS SAFETY
After retirement he lived in a small town his trading place visiting sons and neighbors in his well kept car. A Dutch immigrant, he recalled how Indians once visited his smoke house and how people respected the car. In his last weeks he sat in the driver seat, praising the car as a good one, even as illness neared. This is a simple tale of reverence for an automobile over arrogance in driving.
