Jean Replogle Wolf's son Don worked
in Florida for Southern Bell Telephone. His job took him far and wide across
Florida over the years. One day he and a co-worker were driving in
Volusia County near the small city of Oak Hill. They pulled their company
vehicle to a stop at a crossroads. Don looked at traffic crossing his
path.
A police car was chasing a large sedan with a woman at the
wheel and a man sitting in the back seat reading the newspaper. A bit amusing, but not hazardous to the company employees.
The woman was obviously speeding and
the man was obviously engrossed in some article and paying no attention to the
cruiser or the driver. The woman evidently was paying no attention to the
officer either as she kept up her above-the-limit speed.
Don studied the car a bit more.
It was highly familiar. Wait! Don recognized what he really,
really did not want to know.
The driver was his mom! The man
in the backseat was his dad! And neither of them saw the police...nor him.
His mom was focused on the road ahead and kept on a-going. His father turned the page. Don turned the corner to follow his parents and the police. For more stories on Jean Replogle, see: http://catorfamilies.com/genealogy/replogle.html
