The brown Whale - Gigi

The Brown Whale.

Dan had an old jalopy which he named the "Brown Whale". One day Dan and I took the train up to Hudson on our way to Tannersville. He had parked the Brown Wale at the station where it had been for several weeks. When he opened the car door a swarm of wasps which had made their nest under the steering wheel came flying out. Needless to say I kept my distance. I laughed while Dan had soaked a cloth with gasoline and tried to create an unpleasant environment for the buzzing insects. To top it all off the car wouldn't start once we got rid of the wasps. A nice man saw our predicament and jump started the Brown Wale. This incident was so typical of how Dan lived his life, I am sure that he is turning Heaven upside down. I will miss you Dan.
