Summary of Roger Angell's Let Me Finish

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 My mother, who was a fiction editor, and her friend Andy White, a writer of casuals and poetry, drove me around in an eight-year-old Pierce-Arrow touring car in 1928. They soon got a secondhand beige-and-black 1928 Plymouth roadster.

#2 I was a New York City kid who knew the subways and museums by heart, but in the 1930s, I got out of town a lot, mostly by car. I drove to Bear Mountain and Atlantic City and Gettysburg and Niagara Falls.

#3 I would go on some of these bygone trips just to take a stroll down memory lane. I would not do this for the sake of nostalgia, but to find some thread that connects these outings and sometimes puts Canandaigua or Kirksville back in my head when I wake up at night.

#4 Driving with Tex, I learned about the corrupt but colorful governor of Texas, Ma Ferguson. We had no radio, but stayed alert anyway. We saw a buzzard aloft and a rare North Dakota license plate.
