Goodreads asked W. Franklin Lattimore:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

W. Franklin Lattimore It occurred to me that there are so many people in the world who have had experiences that will never be remembered after they die. Some of these experiences SHOULD be remembered by those who remain behind. The experiences are a tribute to a life that was important and necessary in other people's lives. "Old Jeep" is a story about a 93-year-old man whose memories are a tribute to friends he lost during the war in Europe. But someone needs to hear them and record them before he, too, dies.
