Yes,
Geoffrey and sister (Julie? - I think), were able to meet me and point out
an historic Route 66 bridge to me. They are two very enthusiastic Corvair
minded folks - and come from a long time Corvair family, based on our brief
( 1/2 hour or so) meeting.
I'm JUST NOW getting to the messages (350) that came in while I was on that
trip. This is the first I learned of the mishap. So, hope they are both OK
and the car is not "critical" either.
Yes, I WILL get to part 4 - and beyond, but since I was out of town AGAIN in
a Corvair - it might take a couple days to get back in the groove on that.
Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.
Later, JR
