Still hurt, his days were spent working part- time at the Price Club, his nights curled up with a heating pad. A car accident in March left Kilby without a vehicle and soon he was eased out of the Price Club. A stint with a car dealership proved little better. Standing roadside with his sign was the last resort. Latin America was the next stop where Kilby and company continued their efforts.
