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

[Sue Hovey]

THIS IS ONE YOU SHOULD DELETE IF YOU AREN’T JUST WHILING AWAY YOUR TIME ON THE VIZ...

Once my dad left my 9 year old sister at the service station when we were (all 7 of us) traveling from Amarillo to San Angelo.  He hadn’t gotten more than 5 or ten miles when one of us kids in the back mention we had a lot more room now that Nan was no longer with us.  Dad realized his error, turned around and drove back.  She got even though.  The owner had a box of kittens he was trying to give away.  Guess who got one.

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.
