cumearae I gave each one of the drivers instructions to send the highwey pa-
trol or sheriff out immedicately.

I fully expected to have some police aid within thirty minutes, but it
was two hours before the sheriff arrivede In the meantime I stayed there and
kept traffic movinge Of course all the travelers wanted to stop and view the
wreckage, but that only clutters things up, so I made them keep movinge

Well, from this point on, it was ohly a matter of time and waiting for
the police to arrives

| You k now, *Dec', you always said that a person would not be aware of
the things they would do when an emergency arose, they would just automatical-
ly do theme Well, that is absolutely righte |

I had always thought when ~~ were speaking about 'leaders' in emergen=-
cies that people would not pay any attention if someone just started in boss-
ing thingse But I've changed my minde Those people were actually grateful
that someone did happen to start 'bossing' thingse I had always felt as if
only one or two out of a crowd could be depended on to help you or do as you
saide But the people there never questioned or argued or anythinge I just
started talking and they went right ahead and did as I side Thank God, I
was lucky enough not to make any mistakest\ Those people seemed to regard
me as a doctor and highway-patrolman rolled into onee I was never so sur-
prised in all my life as when they just fell to and did as I directede When
they exhibited that much confidence in me, a total stranger (although every-
one there were strangers), why I just had to make goode

 tDoe', this is pretty lenis disjointed and rambling, but thats the way

the whole affair wase So don't blame me too muche
