I've really appreciated this group more than I've ever been able to say, and have shared a few extra tidbits with you over time.

But now I must tell you the saddest thing of all, that my wonderful wife Carol passed away suddenly last Tuesday evening, after we just returned from a visit at UMass med center. She lived exactly 7 months with her new kidney, but her heart gave out. We had hoped to come to Carlisle together next year if she was well enough as she wanted to see Gettysburg so badly. I might come to Carlisle next year if things work out, will have time to tinker with the car now but doubt it will be ready by then. I don't have the ambition that speedy Dick Koch seems to have in spades, amazing how he is going on with those projects.

I have just one photo of Carol with my car taken back in 1976, maybe someday I will add it to my showcase. Her obit is online and relatively easy to find or I can send a link if you care to see it. I really appreciate knowing you and all the group both online and the time we met in person back in 2007.

...she never got to ride in my car on the road, but at least sat in the swivel seats when we went to to drags long ago. And she took a roll of 8mm home movies of several runs down the strip and I hope I can find it soon, it's here someplace.
