If you have a memory of Melba, you can add it here in the comments section. It's easy, just try it.

For example, she was the brunt of many jokes. There was that year in 1975 when we were stuck at Stuckey's in a blizzard on the way back from Duluth. The next morning we were one of the first cars to venture out on the interstate. The roads were cleared off from the blowing snow but under many of the bridges were huge finger drifts. Right before coming upon one of them, Melba hollers out, "Edward, look at those cows!"
Dad looks over to see the cows just as he goes under an overpass. The drift was so big we literally buried the car and filled the entire engine compartment with snow. For years afterward, when we wanted to get a jab in, we'd say, "Edward, look at the cows!"
