Re: IML: No Ticket Here

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

In 1973 my sister's wedding reception was held at the Officer's Club at 
the Sand Point Navel Air Station. I used my '56 to tour the newly weds 
and my grandmother from the church and the reception, accidentally 
parking the car in a spot designated for one of the Commanding 
Officer's.

About 3 hours later, they had made enough phone calls to determine that 
the car belonged to the son of a Lieutenant J.G., found me, and asked 
for the keys so that it could be moved. I was told that the delay was 
caused by the M.P.'s having to figure out whether or not the Commanding 
Officer had recently purchased a '56 Imperial.

I didn't get a ticket either, and since my father was a Retired Navel 
Officer, I was treated with the utmost respect. The M.P.'s moved the 
car and parked it in under a bright lamp at the entrance to the 
Officer's Club where it sat until it was time to leave! It was 
beautiful sitting there like that! My grandmother was very pleased that 
she didn't have to walk any further than the front door to get into the 
car.

Another old and nearly forgotten memory of the glory days remembered 
while reading the IML.

Thanks!

Subject: IML: No Ticket Here




This past weekend my wife and I were part of the wedding for her 
sister.  Part of my involvement was to chauffer the new bride and groom 
in my 68 LeBaron from the chapel to the reception hall.  Once at the 
hall I discovered that all legal parking spaces anywhere near the front 
of the hall were taken.  So I figured what-the-heck and parked in a red 
zone right in front of the hall.  Several late comers figured since my 
LeBaron was parked in the red, they could too.  About an hour into the 
festivities someone ran in screaming that the police were ticketing all 
the cars in the red zone.  When I got outside, the officer had indeed 
managed to ticket several cars.  Once all the car owners showed up he 
told them they had to move their cars, but the classic (my LeBaron) 
could stay where it was.  Does this officer have good taste or what?
