Yeah, I coach a girls fastpitch travel team and we played in Brighton and Ann Arbor this past Summer. Two towns real close to Mike. Who knows, I may have walked right by him before.popscomet wrote:IT sounds to me a FROG should'nt have to bump his BUTT while gettin down off the curb but a time or 2 before you guys shake hands,,,now thats COOL !pop

Re: 1965 Mercury Comet A/FX
Okay, I'm cryin' right now. No kiddin'.
I get to take dad next Friday to see his car.
Pops, I know there's something there, but I'm a mess at the moment and can't figure it out... I'll try tomorrow.. Dad gets to see the car Friday!
Boss...maybe I need to take you and pops w/pops out for a drink. Unfortunately I'm not waiting for when I can do that for you guys...I need one now. But as long as we can hook up, it's on me.
I'm done for tonight, I just want to thank everyone for their help and support and interest through all of this. And I PROMISE that I'll post something that will make dad proud, me, and hopefully the history of one of the most iconic cars to run on four wheels. Promise.

Mike,
This is not only a great story it is an inspiring one. I met Larry last winter in N. Ohio. He is a great guy. I am sure you will enjoy his company.
If you ever get down this way, look me up.
