Remember ‘Queen of the Road’ Margarette Kirsch, the 82-year-old whom the Twilight Wish Foundation helped find her way into the passenger seat of a Penske International for a cross-country haul — longtime dream come true? We came across video of part of her journey with driver/singer Anabella Wood behind the wheel at AARP’s Youtube.com page and thought we’d share. It’s embedded below. Enjoy. . .
