Nestor "Sandy" Sander Rides His "New Transportation"
Annuitant, Nestor “Sandy” Sander has found a way to go shopping after they took his driver's license away. He says the scooter is more than O.K. for the mile to and from the bank and grocery store.
Sandy is 90 years young. During his career as a geologist he lived for long periods in six countries of Europe, Africa and the Middle East while visiting many others.
In 1939, on his first tour overseas, he shook hands with the King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia and in 1945 he watched De Gaulle and Churchill walk down the Champs Elysées on VE Day. He wrote the book, Ibn Saud: King by Conquest.
