Looking forward to seeing everyone and the condolences are very much appreciate. My Mother was a dear sweet lady we lost all of her going on two years ago but we lost her mind to alziemers two and one half years ago and as much as I miss her it seems that losing Dad was harder. I spent part of everyday with him the last five months of his life. His mind stayer clear until the last seven days of his life. Dave I also was with Dad when he passed, all night and the evening before he had his last struggling breath from COPD and at 8:15 I summoned my Wife, Brother and Sister and their spouses around the bed. I was on his right at the head of the bed, I leaned against the bed and hung my walking stick on the rail and unplanned and without thinking I lay my head gently of top of his head and leaned over near him and said"Daddy your family is all around you, we love you but if you are tired of fighting and are ready to go see Mother it 's okay with us" He clinched his jaw which had been sagging open and looked like the tre time decorated hero in Europe during WW11 took three breaths and he was gone, very true story.
Dave I apologize for not contacting you in a while and I miss the Corvette Racing videos you used to send. I recently added about 100 HP to it and 65 to my truck.
See everyone in about a month.
Garrell
