Letter: Rodney Thompson remembers winning car 50 years ago A timely note: Adair Co. Fair starts in less than 2 weeks Ed, You should remember this. I won the car at the Adair County Fair in 1958. I was 16 years old and of course, walking. This was something I will never forget. To win a car at any age is great, but to win one at 16 years old was fabulous. To make it even greater, they let me take the car that night, which was on a Friday night. Louis Merkley offered me $1,800.00 for the car. He could have offered me $18,000.00 and I would have still kept it! s/Rodney L. Thompson Yes, now I recall that incident. But it sets the record straight. Most of us had it in our heads that what made you successful were the lessons learned delivering newspapers with Ralph Roy Waggener. But in fact it was winning that car that jump started your fortune. -EW This story was posted on 2008-06-22 14:56:10
