So, other than a comment on August 13 about getting truck insurance straightened out, I have not found another mention of the truck incident. It sure seemed like a big deal at the time and has been the source of family legend for over 40 years including speculation on who the real driver was. Yet, here is the record. Just another day. Ho Hum. Still, just not the way I remember it.
