Identified in 2012 by Graham Conner who remembered that Harold McFarland taught him how to drive. Once, while attempting to turn onto a two-lane road with cars coming both ways, Graham overcompensated and ended up in the middle of the road with traffic coming. Graham jumped out of the car and said, "Harold, you take it".
