He didn't plan on doing even that but Fuzzy and I insisted that he be at the meeting. He resigned immediately after the meeting setting up a crippled 2-2 Council which was unable to function for a while. It is little wonder that I don't recall the photo given what we had to look forward to as a functioning council. Sometime we will do the "rest of the story".

The vehicle was powered by 12 six-volt lead-acid batteries. It had a top speed of 25 miles per hour and a range of about 50 miles on one battery charge.<br /><br />Between May 8 and July 22, 1968, LCRA’s Experimental Electric Shopper was taken on a special trailer to every city served by LCRA and also to the headquarters of every REA co-op on the LCRA system. At each stop, an LCRA representative demonstrated the car and instructed the utility personnel in its operation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02105133731194651796noreply@blogger.com
