Over 40 Years

GUMBYThis Gumby has been riding with me since I got my driver’s license in 1982.  My best friend in high school brought him back from a trip he took to California.  I hung him (Gumby not Phil) on the rearview mirror of my first car, a 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger, and he’s either been on the mirror or in the glove compartment of every vehicle I’ve owned since then.  I captured this moment at Shawnee Mission Park after a dentist appointment.  It was still a little cool by the lake at noon, but me and Gumby drove around until it got up to the 70′s.

  1. What a nice memory. Just you and Gumby. Phil’s a good memory too! I wonder what ever happened to Phil?

    • Mom, I talked to Phil years ago when Second Mile was in Estes Park, CO and then again after I got back home. That would have been between 2004-2007. I just remember that he was married & he was easy to talk to. I think he was living in the northwest.

  2. …… I’m still here……long live Gumby
