From Laura Goertzel

From Cousin Laura 


One lovely summer day when Lev was around 5 years old many of the
Seattle-area Goertzels met up for a walk around Greenlake.  Penn
pulled up to the designated meeting area in his brand-new electric
car.  Jaal and Lev were eager to go for a ride in it and Penn was
eager to oblige them. When they got back, they excitedly reported the
details of their trip.  "When Penn turned on his car it sounded like
this" - then Lev made a big show of firmly shutting his mouth;
indicating that the Prius was very quiet. "When Penn stopped at the
red light it sounded like this" and he again closed his mouth to
indicate that the sound was that there was no sound at all.  It was
very cute and I am reminded of this story now whenever I am driving
our Prius and think the car has stalled because it really is so quiet.

Attached are some pictures from 2006, at a family party in Woodland Park.
