[LargeFormat] Is there anybody out there

[Don Feinberg]

Similarly! I was in college at Michigan State in Lansing.  When driving
back to see my parents in New York I would drive across to Canada at Sarnia
/ Port Huron, and back into New York at Niagara Falls and vice-versa.

Same as Richard's experience -- no check.  Just drive across.  I didn't even
*have* a passport in those days.

Of course, we "timed" things so we would always need to tank up on the
American side in Niagara Falls, where there were so many filling stations
that there were constant price wars.  When fuel was 28 to 32 cents
"everywhere else", it would be about 18 or 19 cents there!

It was a long time ago -- early 60s.  :-(    :-)
