Snodgrass

Snodgrass - Back in 1960, I was a T-34 instructor in VT-1 at NAAS Saufley Field. I had a student, NavCad Tom Sharkey, who asked me if I would do him a favor, and drive is old 1946 Cadillac to my place, because he had no insurance yet, and it was banned from the base.

No problem.

He gave me the keys, told me where it was parked, and thanked me.

A few minutes after I got home, a USMC Captain and the local Sheriff arrived at my door. They told me I had stolen the car of NavCad Snodgrass.

Whoa! I explained the situation, and I drove back to Saufley, and parked it, to the relief of Snodgrass.

It turns out that the same key worked in both cars, and I had taken the wrong one.
