Bicycle

(1990s memoirs)
I was sitting around in the lobby [at the Schmidt Home] watching the clock go around when suddenly a man approached me to ask whether I was not the mother of Skip Kay, who bought a bicycle from him while he was at the time [1942] working at the Coast to Coast. I said I probably was and he said, "I knew it, I knew it!"  ...  He was Ed Hanson by name.  Of course I didn't recall any such thing.  ...  I remember Daddy asking you if you were sure, and you said yes, that was the only one for you.  And you said it was, that you had gone over it.
