Description:  A courtesy car owned by the Kent Motor Inn would shuttle our crews to and from these sites. Both Meadville and Marion crews stayed there as their4away from home terminal. While I was a student at Kent State University I drove that courtesy car and through a gentleman named Fred Eyster got an application and the rest as thdy say is history. The Kent Motor Inn like the EL, is gone. At least I'm still here.
