in 1990 i wanted a toyota pickup but there were no dealers close. my son was going to akron u. at the time and he found me a 1989 red toyota pickup. it was red and had roll bar with lights on roll bar. i was only one in my area that had one at that time. i was at work and my buddy mike called my wife and said he was going fishing at twin lakes just outside hopedale and told her i could meet him there that he was going early. i wasn't going to go because it was a football night but my wife talked me into going. so as i was driving up hill on dirt road getting close to the lakes i could see across a field where at top of hill there was a y in road. i saw red toyota like mine sitting by the lake so i wanted to talk to him about his toyota but he saw me coming and took off real fast and he turned right at the y and he was throwing dust bad. so i made right turn and went to lake. my buddy saw me and ran the boat to pick me up and said what the heck you doing. i asked what do you mean and he said why was you just sitting there watching me. i said wasn't me and he said oh i wondered why you took roll bar off. there was big oak tree along road and he kept moving his truck to keep tree between him and mike. so we never thought anymore about it. then to my surprise mike called me and asked if i read paper about the killer being caught he said he drove red 1989 toyota and he was from akron - canton area. i said wow that had to be him and thats why he took off fast when he saw me coming in truck like his. so i told mike i saved your life and maybe mine if i got there sooner.
