1) One of the five Aero-cars is for sale (in Colorado, I think) $2 1/2
million, I think)
2) "Asleep at the Wheel" is doing a play based on Bob Wills - I want to
see it.
3) Only unmodified Liberty Ship is in San Diego this weekend. I've been
on it in SanFran, England, and hope to visit it here.

Why no OT? The Areocar had / has a Champion engine, IIRC.

Moulton Taylor built the Lycoming powered Aerocar. Waldo Waterman built the
Champion powered Aerobile. I think I read somewhere that Studebaker bought
Waterman out at one point, then later sold it all back to him.
