Drops Match In Gas Tank; 2 Boys Hurt

Detroit Free Press , October 28, 1963 I'm not going to venture a guess at what became of Hubert Jackson of 32762 Missaukee in Nankin but if he took many more risks like the one he took in late October of 1963 he probably didn't live a very fortuitous life. That risk being dropping a lit match into the gas tank of an abandoned truck in the woods at the corner of Venoy and Glenwood. The truck exploded giving him facial burns and causing his younger brother Gary to require first aid. A friend, Terry Coffey, 10, also of 32873 Mecosta, Nankin, was unhurt. Hubert was taken to Wayne County General Hospital for treatment.
