SIDECAR - A Mechanic, An Amazing Car, and What Really Matters

The Cricket Editor Erika Brown talks with Lifestyle Editor Kris McGinn about the story of Kris's ancient and beloved car and the third generation mechanic, Ernie Nieberle of Ernie's Garage in Essex, who helped to take care of it, and her, until the very end.  A third-generation mechanic (his grandfather worked on tanks in WWI and was a POW), Ernie began spending time in the garage with his father and grandfather at age five and worked full-time by 14. A member of the Essex Volunteer Fire Department for 37 years, Ernie is a quiet hero in the community; and certainly was for Kris McGinn and her special car.
