<VV> Longest Vair trip in a day

[James Davis]

April 1965 my new bride and I drove from Augusta, GA to Albuquerque, 
NM stopping for only gas and food in her new 1965 Corsa 
convertible.  The distance at that time (before interstates) about 
1,950 miles.   We made it in just over 40 hours (what speed 
limits?).  We would have made it quicker but my wife was four months 
pregnant with a touch of morning sickness.  I had several stops 
several times to empty the plastic trash receptacle.   I was on my 
delayed honeymoon visiting relatives when I received notification my 
NCOIC had died.  The young first lieutenant, the OIC, though it 
important to be at the base for the funeral.  I made it to the base 
with 5 hours to spare.  Someone say something about being young, 
invincible, and stupid.
