Dear Grapevine

Rescued in Ohio

About 27 years ago, I was driving back to Rhode Island from California. It was a long and difficult trip. When I got to Ohio, my car got a flat tire. It was so late at night, it was almost morning. I was really stressed because I knew nothing about cars, and I was with a friend who didn’t know anything either. This was before cell phones, so we waited nervously by the side of the road.
