Unpublished story:
My grandparents lived next to the 'Isreals' and old man Isreal was trying to teach Melvin to back up the family sedan. "You's looks straight ahead and goes straight back" and knocks the corner off the front porch. Furious tries it the other direction and knocks the bumper off on the biggest druid oak on the block...Slams down his fedora-"anyways you gets the picture". My dad, uncle and aunt were peering over the balcony of the sleeping porch and didn't know whether to laugh or run for cover...after law school young Melvin took the stage name 'Mel Allen'.
