Tell or re tell some stories? The one about a fella who pilfered lampbulbs at barndances. And the un graticous passenger who didn't wanna help when the driver, your relative, got stuck.

Or maybe one of you could find these stories in whatever old thread.. That's a long shot cause the stories might not of been of the same topic as he thread. Never kno cause Roger Karlsson seems to find any old thread. Thanx y'all.

Sorry, can't find any of those.. Did you see them in writing or was it something Mr Howe told when you met him? I think he saves some of his stories for live audiences only :-)

No he mentioned these stories in threads.

In fact he did - both stories in the same posting: http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/50893/71620.html?1226198081

Some interesting stuff from the others too in that thread about the Hoover days.

If you're hungry for Unca' Stan's stories and haven't read "The Adventures of Herman and Frieda", you owe it to yourself to purchase a copy.

The Adventures of Herman and Frieda is a great book of short stories about a North Dakota family and Model T's. It's a very funny book.

Thanks, haven't been reading the forum much, didn't see this until this morning. SIR??? I'm not sure I'd answer to sir.

Herman and Freida is still available, over 1000 copies of it floating around the country, I consider that to be a "Best Seller" in my world. I'm still working on a couple more stories, just didn't have any time last winter. Maybe next winter.

I like to think it is funny but also some good information on T's and driving them, working on them and the way they were thought of in the day. Time moves on but people are the same. Young people fall in love, babies are born and people die. Life goes on. The reason I set the book in the mid twenties is that I wanted it to be in the era when cars had become common place, not another story about how "My grandfather was so stupid he couldn't learn to drive and yelled whoa and ran through the barn wall." I also didn't want this to be another book about how "We were so poor we had to eat a Magpie for Thanksgiving dinner," or "There were no roads and no electricity."

The parts I have had the most comment on other than some of the sayings and Herman's colorful language are the parts about learning to drive with a Ruckstell in the last story, Freida Learns to Drive.

Lotsa fun.

Mr. Howe Sir! I thought you put your pants on the same way as all of the rest of us poor old Model T guys, one leg at a time...but with a handle like in the title of this thread I believe Sir, that you are somehow able to do both legs at the same time! ;)

Well Stan seems like a fella you best mind you manners around. Plus he's college educated and much older than me.
Y'all take care.

Hope you newer members read the Hoover days thread Roger kindly found for us.
