Rich,I just got the message I don't get here very often.I'm hoping to add some pictures when I get back from Sons visit He had alot of my old pictures.His wife calls it the Shrine.Hes got he old Bud helmet and all.I was in Florida up in Sarasota visting my sister and her husband.On the way home I picked up a boat I bought on E/Bay over by Orlando had to get home Vic and Girls came down for Thanksgiving Then me and the wife went to the Bahamas(which I thought sucked) now off to Stephen(another son)in Arizona for a couple of weeks.Then home long enough to try and sell about 4 motors(Boat) do a little fishing and then I should be getting down your way again.I will try to get together with you if we can.My parents arn't doing well in CT.so I don't know how that will go.I plan on a quick trip up there by myself when I return from West very hard we were close.Well enough of my running.It sounds like your doing good and thats great to hear.I often drift back(with the help of Victor)I told him I can't believe they called me the old man from Hudson, Shit I was only in my early 30s ok middd 30s.Take care and God Bless Vic.

Don't get here as much as I would like to.Yes Victor with the help of John and Pat are doing well with the Tank.I was glad when he finally went with a compression motor.Hes enjoying it and I'm hopeing to get togetherat Island or Lebanon.Like to see what Howie looks like now.Also got to meet up with Rich M&M in Florida.Started building boat motors two years ago now I got to get away.Should have been doing that back in he 70s.Still a good feeling to put something togethrer and crank it up.Neighbors get a little testy but they will get over it.I keep thretting one of them by having my buddy spread a story around that I'm going to sell my boats and build a 9 second street car.I'll get some of the old pictures on.Take care Vic

Rich,short note.Yes I plan on being at Lebanon for the two days.I tried to call on your free number but I didn't have to send a fax AND COULDN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO GET OFF THE PHONE.It was probably to late for you to be there 5:30 PM.But you were always late.I spoke with Victor the other day and let him know that we would be going up also for the NHRA Points race once they post it.I'm trying to get him to get serious and race for real.He keeps doing this time and tune thing.The other guy Stephen is out in Arizonia racing go carts or cars or or.We went to the Barrett & Jackson Auction in Scottsdale that was a trip.He took me to a tent where you could buy the cars before auction I looked and they were all selling for over $100.000.I told him he was nuts.He tried to buy a Nomad like his brother but quit at $40,000.instead he bought a station wagon for $23,000.???????.They have a track out there where everything can race,drags,rally,boats,circle etc etc everything but horses.I'll try to call again when I get a chance its that time of year where all the boat guys find that they didn't winterize and they need a motor and right now I'M sitting on 11 motors and the wife is having a bad time getting in the garage.Take care Vic SR.
