This is a pictoral tail of the Adventures of Poindexter the Ponderous Possum. You see, Jase was driving a U-Haul truck, which was pulling a car dolly, from Louisiana to Virginia.

Lo and behold, we find Poindexter hanging from an I-81 sign, woefully begging for a ride. We picked himup, bandaged him, and brought him along for a little reunion with Jase...
T his is the only known 1949 Dodge Hearse ever manufactured, built by J.C. Little. Originally from Scotland, John J.C. Little (1888-1971) started his North American career as a coachbuilder at Canada's largest coachbuilder, the O.J. Mitchell Hearse Company of Ingersoll, Ontario. He built his first home-built coach sometime in 1937 and by 1940 had saved up enough money to open his own body shop. From his small shop, which was located in the service bays of an Ingersoll Shell station, Little produced a series of hand-built professional coaches until he closed in the late Fifties. He specialized in modifying regular wheelbase production vehicles into sedan-ambulances and funeral cars.1

We both wanted to be drummers. e got the job and I was depressed because now he had a band and I didn't. We started jamming and I grabbed a microphone and started o sing what I thought was the blues. I never sang before in my ife. Well guess what? They decided to have two singers in the band. Wow my first band and boy was it fun. rom there on I never looked back! *wink*. We have had two reunions so far, which were complete sell outs. There wasn't too many places we didn't play in Ontario, Canada. REAT memories and great times.”
