My avid sisters got their driver’s license at age 16, I did not. I saw that, once you could drive, you got sent to town with a list of errands. But at 18 I started Beloit College. My dad said, “I’m not driving a kid of your age to town every day.” So, I got a license and a farm flivver and was on my own. But I did save myself two years of errands!
