[Vision2020] Fiction Becomes Reality: Wife left at Gas Station

[Nicholas Gier]

Compare my favorite Garrison Keillor story at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-2N9ZLl8Ug with this real life story.  I
don't think, however, that the Germans were named Myrtle and Florian.
 Although Kreshback does sound like a German surname.

BERLIN (AP) — A German couple's marriage got off to a rocky start when the
groom forgot his bride at a highway gas station on the way home from their
honeymoon, only noticing she was missing after hours had passed.

Police said Friday the couple was heading home to Berlin from France when
the man pulled over near the central town of Bad Hersfeld late Thursday to
fill up their van.

The woman had been sleeping in the back but got up — unbeknownst to the man
— to use the toilets and he drove off before she returned.

Only after 2 ½ hours on the road did he notice she was gone and called
police, who said she was patiently waiting.
