Is that the one which was Doc Hudson's first trip? He
had been coaxed on board with the idea that all he'd
have to do is pass out aspirin, laxatives, and kind
assuring words, and the first night the slashing in the
kitchen happened. It didn't stop him from riding
though, and I met him years later on the Natchez. He
had gone to Public Health in his retirement years.
Incidentally, for you relatively new DQers, the Greenes
used to have a physician ride along because the trips
were round trips and lengthy, often 21 days. Then as
now, the passenger list was geriatric (all of us board
members excluded, of course!) Didn't the doctor get
free room and board, Jane? ..............
