Before I went to Market Street to scope out the new hangout of the Beatniks, I caught a cab to Fred's Friendly Autos.

Fred Carr, and yes, that's his real name, was the owner of the car lot. He went through the war with Harrigan and me, and I always bought my cars from him.

    Thank you, Lisa and Drew. This was the late-fifties, but I imagine soap operas were just as contrived then as they are today.
