Dick and Sandy Richards spring snowstorm 1963


May 11, 1963 - a Favorite Story to be told! Grandpa Dick and Grandma Maysel were headed to Madras to attend some kind of livestock sale. It started snowing. Cars were "off the road". Men were "chaining up" if they were lucky enough to have chains.
Grandpa had his ever ingenious wife - Grandma Maysel by his side! She had him stop the car - she climbed in the trunk - and waved at all of the other drivers as they headed right up the road.
Grandma loves to tell how she could see the "idea" of this method taking root in the eyes of the other husbands on the road as they passed by.
