Traveling along in the Omnicoot

2025-02-20- Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com
Take a look at the cars in this 1970s photo developed from old negatives at the Genealogy Center. Ed Waggener and son Tom are pictured unpacking the small light blue Dodge Omni that the boys had named the "Omnicoot" - they'll have to tell the story of why they felt it should be named that. I'm sure it was for good cause. It was in that car on the way home from Florida, I believe, that Tom and Pen developed ideas around a current events show they'd title Walter Kronphart and the Evening Pews. -- LW
