Vinger Family (Return from Trip - 13 FEB 1952)

Mr. and Mrs. Palmer Vinger returned last Wednesday, Feb. 13 from a 3 1/2 week trip, in which they covered 6,250 miles without any car trouble or flat tires. However, Thursday morning when Mrs. Vinger went to get some things out of the car, there was one tire flat. Guess it held up just as long as it could.

The Vingers went from Greenwood to Nashville, Tenn., where they visited their daughter Shirley and family. On leaving there they drove to Tucson, Ariz., where they visited Mr. and Mrs. Don Cothers, former Neillsville residents, then on to Phoenix, Ariz., where they visited Mr. and Mrs. Buford Schoonover, former Loyal residents. From here they went to San Diego, Calif. and visited Mr. and Mrs. Joe Dam, also former Loyal residents. While in California they made several trips in Mexico, as well as many sightseeing trips into California.

The Vingers returned via Nashville, Tenn., where they visited their daughter and family. On the first trip, Shirley and Patty were both ill, but had recovered nicely by the time they returned.

However, after the wonderful trip and lovely scenery, Wisconsin still looked good to them.
