Anything Can Happen Anything Can Happen Too Late to Kiss the Bride
A jumble of short items: a 17 year old bicyclist from Wilmington tried to attend a cousin's wedding in Pitman New Jersey but fell short of the ceremony after traveling 518 miles through York Pennsylvania. A three year old Boston terrier Pudzy chased by owner Jack Mackie led to a missing elderly man Stephan Richardson, found after police efforts. A farmer in Plainview Texas left his plow and a sunlit disk burned a hole in a tire. A Kansas City officer joked of a drunk claiming many children at home. Pampa Texas airfield students drilled away from weather to Tucumcari New Mexico. Dayton Ohio youths Joe Kaiser and Harry Wombold alerted Wright Field to a Nazi plane and were allowed to inspect the experimental craft.
