Before learning to drive I am 84 years old and have always lived in the country. Back then families usually had only one car, and the man drove it. But when my husband died I had to go to work. I rode with a neighbor until he retired. I was afraid to drive. I worked at Mrs. Johnson’s Grill for four years in Sanford. My brother lived in town, and I changed jobs to Mrs. Wenger’s Restaurant so I could live with him one summer and walk back and forth to work. Then my aunt called and told me she was going to take driver’s training and learn how to drive, so I went also. I was in my 50s. My children helped me drive on weekends. We both got our driver’s license. My aunt passed away a few years ago, but I am still driving. The Lord blessed me to help me learn to drive, and I didn’t have to ask other people for rides. I worked at Mrs. Wenger’s Restaurant for 35 years and retired when I was 80. Monnie Sullivan |
