At one time the high school was doing a fund raiser selling NORTH plates which many folks displayed on the front of their cars. I thought that's great. Someone robs a store with a promotional plate on their car and the police will come looking for me because the witnesses said the plate number was NORTH. It never did happen though.

When questioned about the plate later in life, I use to tell them Ollie was my uncle. Some people actually believed me.

As Paul Harvey said, "And now you know the rest of the story...Good Day!"
