110-year-old Renault taxi recalls the Battle of the Marne
It’s rare for a daily newspaper reporter to be able to revisit a story that he wrote 30 years ago and find out how it turned out. At the very least it suggests I never found a real job in the meantime. It’s even less likely that, as I combed the darkest recesses of my memory to remember who/when/where, I found that a fellow ink-stained wretch quite recently answered all my questions but one.
Great story. Probably should be presented to the French government as a "good will gift". After all, without France's help (especially at Yorktown), we might still be an English colony...
