FORD FALCON

Each time we go back to Akron, Ohio , a place we always want to go to  is the  Sand Run Park. My husband, Vladimir has a special story about this park. In 1971, he and the Minev family (his parents Emil and Maria, his brother Alex and sister Nellie ) ended up in Akron after escaping from Communist Bulgaria. One of the places they marveled at their new country was the beautiful park. They would often drive across the park on weekends. On one of their drives, they noticed a wooden sign leading to a river stream. There was only a light drizzle that day but it rained earlier. A Chevrolet Impala drove past them . After reading the sign, they tried to turn around. A park ranger saw that they were having trouble backing out. He stopped and asked them where they were going. The ranger told them they were going the right way and didn't need to turn around. My husband told the ranger they had to because their car is a  FORD . The family were all just learning to speak English and none of them knew what the word  ford meant. The sign had been changed many times over the years and each time we go back , he always have to look for that sign and  always we have a laugh as we cross the ford. And this last time with a Nissan !
