On this date in 1964 I walked in to the Hamilton plants with a letter of
introduction from my Studebaker dealer, was given a plant tour and took
delivery of my '64 Daytona Wagonaire which I still have.

Just received word that my wife's uncle passed away yesterday and my father-in-law and I are heading out Friday morning to Long
Beach, CA. to start the process of settling the estate. Looks like the closest I'll come to So. Bend this year is at about 34,000

Went to Tulsa Spring meet last weekend. Got a 1st place trophey. But it
was dated 2004. No 1st or 2nd or 3rd.

Anyone between SC and ND have a decent, used golf cart for sale?  Dad's
looking for one to use around town.  I'd like to find an electric one with
the charger, but would take a gas powered one.  Don't need a 2005 model
(unless you're willing to sell it for 1998 prices), but would ...

My son's 91 Camaro RS (3.1 V6) died on the side of the interstate
yesterday.  I drove over to meet him, but could not restart the car.  I
had it towed home and put it in the garage until this morning.  It's
