Maybe the funeral home thought giving up their driver’s licenses, and the freedom they provided, Would kill some of the older drivers. Gotta drum up business any way you can, after all.
Marshall U is the source of some great math word problems, e.g., If MU charges half a bushel of potatoes for a three semester credits course, how many acres must farmer Brown plant for a BA in Animal Science?
Potatoes: Not surprising I guess. According to dad, during the great depression – great granddad raised potatoes as a cash crop that he sold to keep current with his mortgage on the family farm. RE potatoes must have had cash equivalent value
Good of Mr. Montella but if he was 100 yrs. old in 2020 then he would have been 18 yrs. old in 1938. How early did he leave school? I would have thought he would be a senior in 1938. Did he just have to take a few finals or make up a semester or two?
Conversely, a funeral home outside Chicago once offered free funerals to those who pre-registered that they were planning to drink and drive on New Year’s Eve.

Marshall University did not know that Yukon Gold was a potato variety.

Albert Montella liked his teeny boppers and he knew the best place to find them…

The Funeral Home should give discounted funerals to those who keep their drivers licenses, right?

Presumably, the offer was only good before they died.

Not surprised about the funeral offer. From what I read, elderly drivers can be as dangerous as drunk drivers.

I can imagine the glee as kids unwrapped their gifts under the Christmas tree to discover those spuds. What a Kodak moment!

I’ve always wondered why they called it “the GREAT depression”. There wasn’t anything “great” about it. ;-)
