'59 Plymouth Forum

I cannot say for sure why I suddenly thought of Curt, and how he has gone quiet on this List, but I just wanted to throw out a Hello to him and his family! I hope all is good!

Hey Roger and other 59 forum members,

Thanks for your note Roger.

Yes I have been quiet lately. I am staying busy and trying to keep myself healthy and out of the hospital. I figured most of you were being bored by my endless notes on being hospitalized. My Plymouth still lives quietly in the garage. I let my lawn service guy start her up every so often, the thrill of his life.
I won't be able to make Carlisle this year due to other commitments. I think of everyone often. I am able to check the forum but not as often as I like.

I am a bit bummed as I have had to give up driving my van for now. I had an incident when my brain said bear left and my right arm refused to move. All this happened on our beltway system at 55mph. I got to the side of the road safely and my wonderful Daughter massaged my neck a few minutes so I could drive to our Easter destination 30 miles from home. You see there was no driver's seat so even my wife could not drive us. All part of growing older with a spinal cord injury. It was pretty scary not having arm movement. I promised myself 39 years ago that I would stop driving if I could not do so safely. I can't jeopardize my life, my family's life or any one else in my path if I'm unable to drive safely.

I'll do my best to stay in better touch. I hope everyone enjoys the upcoming car events. I will be there in spirit as you can't take the car crazy out of a car head!

Cheers,
Curt, Jo Ann and Grace (now 10 1/2 years old)

It is great to hear from you again, Curt.
