On a chilly, snow-filled day in the winter of 1972, 22-year-old student Sotria Kritsonis was heading to college donning a cozy wool hat to shield her fresh haircut.
After waiting for a bus for nearly an hour, a pale yellow Volkswagen Beetle pulled up at the bus stop on Seattle’s Rainer Street. The driver motioned for her to hop in. Although she didn’t recognise him, she appreciated his gesture.
Podcaster Mr Ballen narrates that Sotria was running late for school and was excited to meet her friends. He said: “Despite that she loved her new hair. In fact, she deliberately wore this big hat to hide her haircut because this would make the reveal to her friends at school that much better.”
When the VW driver offered her a ride to school, she was thrilled and quickly hopped into the car. “Sotria sat back in the seat, enjoying the warm air blasting out of the vents and as she did she looked out her window at the familiar route passing by,” Mr Ballen added.
