Body:	<i>My older brother had a Republic route that went from 1st to 8th, the tracks to Forest, and I'd help him in the summer. We stupidly got deceived by Gary Swanson ('68) who told us that the truck facing the alley in Mr. Palich's (Tempe High drafting teacher) backyard was headed for the dump, and it was okay to break the windows out of it. It was something like a '49 Ford. We got caught and for a consequence my dad did consequence #253 which meant we couldn't use our bikes. So, we delivered the route on a cart we'd made that had soap box derby wheels gotten from Rod Standich in a trade. One good push would roll that thing half a block. All the papers went in a big carboard box and we took turns pushing each other around downtown Tempe in the early morning. Much better than being on bikes. A little later my brother did another trade that brought in a 2-1/2 horse Briggs & Stratton with a belt pulley on the shaft. Almost no compression so you could start it by taking the pulley in your hand and giving it a quick turn. Some magic had been worked in our favor because the pulley fit perfectly over the top of a soap box derby wheel. We nailed the engine to the cart, which then went about 15 mph with no one pushing . . . and no brakes. Would I let my son do anything like that? Just needs an engine . . .</i> *
