Jake Jacobs, Jail Time with Becky and Linda

Gerald “Jake” Jacobs 

In high school I had a slick ’51 Chevy Bel Air. Light blue, and two-door of course, because that was cool. I usually parked on English Street between Grove and Poplar.

A lot of other guys parked there too, including Kent James, Dick McKay, Jim Pickett, Art Casado, Kenny Banwart, Jerry Martin, Brett Hesser and probably a few others.

Girls also parked there or stopped by after school. Some that I remember were Vicki Pettit, Josie Pritchard, Glenda Nell, Carol Kendall, Peg Moore, Sharon Cone, and Audrey Pegg.  

One fine day the group was hanging out; the boys were probably talking about wine, women, and song.

Then trouble arrived. It was Becky Siebert and Linda Soderberg wanting someone to give them a ride to their car a couple of blocks to the east. They were staring right at me, so I told them to hop on. At that moment I had two beautiful fender ornaments! Becky on one and Linda on the other. 

I was driving slowly down English toward Green when we got caught by the police.

We three attended Traffic School every Monday night for a month. Dang women always got me in trouble!

    Ahaaa! Such fond memories. Seems like we could be daring in those days, but would have to push wheel chairs today!
