drive, a view of the wrecked motorcycle in Davis’s Tri-
umph there – it was caused by a drunk AUTO driver
(now up for manslaughter) swerving on the wrong
side of the road, kil ing one boy and seriously injuring
another. By chance we met “Tex” Wolf, veteran
endurance and Jack Pine rider and spent a friendly
half-hour visiting with him.
We went on to Fort Smith the next day, and received the warmest reception of our whole trip. Mr. and Mrs.
Quin Winters and Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Winters, at the Harley-Davidson shop really outdid themselves to enter-
tain us. Quin has some interesting movie films of endurance runs and field meets, after which they took us
to dinner. They showed us around Fort Smith, insisted we spend the night with them and gave us a merry
sendoff after breakfast the next morning, all of which left us with a warm spot in our hearts for a couple
of swell fellows and their wives.
Cruising up Highway 71 through the mountains of Ozarks, we took some side trips, to view the beautiful Lake
Fort Smith, and Devil’s Den State Park, then on to Fayettevil e, Springdale, back west through Tulsa until
with regret, that our trip was over, we saw the city limits sign of Stil water.
