Sometimes you can’t tell a story better than reality itself can. This is an email that I received:
DEAR MR. SCHULZ; IN REFERENCE TO THE ARTICLE ABOUT YOUR ENCOUNTER WITH KATE AND WILL AND YOUR NEPHEW’S GREEN CAR, IF YOU WILL BE IN THE EDMONTON AREA POSSIBLY NEXT WEEK OR THE WEEK AFTER, MY HUSBAND AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET A PHOTO OF THE CAR WITH THE DOLL WE FOUND ON THE DEMPSTER HWY. DURING OUR TRIP TO INUVIK IN JUNE. WE ARE FROM PHOENIX, AZ. AND HAVE BEEN TRAVELLING THROUGHOUT CANADA SINCE MAY 22ND AND ARE NOW ON OUR WAY TO MONTANA. WE NOW HAVE OVER 8500 MILES ON OUR TRUCK AND TOYHAULER TRAILER ON THIS TRIP AND WE ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE UNUSUAL TO PHOTOGRAPH ON OUR TRIPS. WE HAVE A GIANT ROCKGUARD GRILL WE MADE FOR OUR TRUCK, WHICH HAS COLLECTED TONS OF BUGS ON THIS TRIP AND WHEN WE FOUND THE DOLL AT A RESTOP, WE WIRED IT ON. EVERYONE KEEPS PULLING UP NEXT TO US AT LIGHTS AND GAS STATIONS, AND POINT, LAUGH, OR REMARK ABOUT IT, SO WHEN I READ THE ARTICLE ABOUT KATE HOLDING THE CAR, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD LAUGH FOR OUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES BACK IN AZ. TO SEE. I THINK IT IS A GREAT IDEA THAT YOU’RE DOING THIS FOR YOUR NEPHEW, AND EVEN THOUGH WE ARE A COUPLE OF NOBODIES, IF YOU ARE INTERSTED IN DOING THIS FOR US, OR MIGUELITO, WE WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU WHEN WE COME INTO TOWN. SINCE WE CAN ONLY GET INTERNET AT A LIBRARY OR STARUCKS, WE WOULD APPRECATE IT IF YOU WOULD CONTACT US ON OUR E-MAIL ADDRESS, BUT ONLY IF YOU’RE INTERESTED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. SINCERELY, SHERRIE AND LARRY BLAU
Below is what the doll looked like while holding Miguelito’s Little Green Car. The car is resting on top of a bracket they built specifically for the photo.
