Ed; Rodney was always one of my "Special Cousins." He was older and was a good example and I really enjoyed being around his Mom and Dad when I was growing up. I remember when he won the car, and later, as a youngster, being allowed to sit in the driver's seat was really cool. He was the Hero of the Family.

I think this win made a change in his life, because later he moved and became "Big City" and a Ford Motor Co. higher up. You can understand my admiration for him when you consider that "Red" and "Blackie" Nixon were also cousins. - Roger D Smith DMD
