Mr. & Mrs. C.L. Schaefer took a road trip to the western U.S. in 1957. Two of their children, Marty & Dave, accompanied them. Their trip was cut short because Mr. Schaefer injured his right foot and was in a lot of pain. On July 31, 1957, the family was in Hailey, Idaho, a little town of no account. Mr. Schaefer and Marty were working on the family car, a 1953 Nash. Dave, age 11, was goofing around and climbed up the hotel's metal fire escape ladder. He suddenly was electrified and yelled for help. Marty ran, jumped and pulled Dave off the metal ladder. The hotel owner had attached a high voltage source to the ladder to prevent people from sneeking into the hotel. I'm Dave.
