Photograph of Maryly in the car she drove to college. (From the collection of LeRoy Farnham Krusi, her brother.) LeRoy had written on the back: "Maryly in her new Chalmers 30 she used to commute between Alameda and U.C. Dad at wheel of Chalmers 40 we drove and shipped from Montclair N.J.- Mother in back seat Priscilla in front seat. Note the 40 was a right hand drive the 30 was one of the first left hand drive. We would crank start Maryly's car each morning. She would park in on the hill in front of Bancroft Library at U.C. to enable her to start it for her return. One morning the car back fired on hand cranking and broke Dad's wrist. When I left for U.C. Dad offered me a car if I would live at home- but I decided to live at the Beta House on Hearst Ave."
