...really a dangerous driver because a "close shave" would wake him and he had not yet had a serious accident. One of the sons had been disciplined in the Army for sleeping on duty, became a truck driver (he kept the windows open even in winter to stay awake); he fell asleep twice during the Mayo interview.
