They drove away in the Ford and disposed of it (I never asked what they did with it).

This car was brand new and it served me well and then served Kathy and me in our first couple of years of marriage. It was not air conditioned. I have photos of Kathy sweating in the front seat. This was the car we had when Britany was a baby. We took her to the drive in movies and warmed her bottle on the exhaust manifold. We drove this car to St. Louis at least once.

Also at the end of my sophomore year, two of my band friends, Craig Zeien (trombone) and Jim Roberts (trumpet) approached Steve and me to join them in renting a house near Rice. Sounded like a good idea so we jumped at the chance. We rented a three bedroom, unairconditioned bungalow at 1303 Branard.
