My Aunt Dot and her husband Uncle Bucky ran a business, "Hartwell's Auto Parts" on Route 36, North of Arkport, NY for years. They provided used parts, auto repair and sold used cars, before they got into the Flea Market scene. I purchased my first automobile, a 1967 Chevrolet Caprice, from them in 1973 after I graduated high school. They even delivered it to me, in the Dover, Pa area, 4 1/2 hrs away, where I lived with my mother, Aunt Dot's sister, Betty Westfall and her husband Karl. I remember Aunt Dot as a stern, no nonsense woman, but with a big heart and a lived a life of fairness.
