In the late ‘80s, gasoline became quite expensive due to the Middle East crisis. (What else is new?!?!) I didn’t know how to drive and so I commuted. Bus fares increased and I tightened the purse strings.
Every now and then I would be lucky to get a ride with a next door neighbor who happened to work in the same office as I did. In one of those rides together, we thought it would be a good idea to start a carpool among neighbors and friends living nearby.
