Wandering with the Wanderwells
Dateline: January 1925
"Around the world in a Ford ... with Captain Walter Wanderwell and his sister, Aloha Wanderwell, who arrived in Santa Barbara yesterday on the last lap of their world tour."
They were part of a group that started in Detroit in 1921. Their car was "decorated from stem to stern – or should one say from crank to taillight – with emblems of each country ... Scores of persons stopped to gaze and to admire.
Small world! "The Wanderwells met another group of world tourists last year. The round-the-world fliers, headed by Captain Lowell Smith, Santa Barbara boy, met the Wanderwells in India."
