Ed sad to see you go man. Did you ever get the tune done on your car. We never got to see it run with the gas?

I'll give my brother a heads up you'll be showing up soon. Keep your eyes open for a LeMans Blue Z (it will probably be going sideways when you see it) and tell him I said hi.

Sorry you have to leave. They must not give a whole lot of notice.

I see the transporter has a Washington plate on it. Curious what the name of the company is?

Keep in touch.

Ed, Sorry to see you go man. Good luck in your life adventures on the other coast.
I'm driving my vette to work tomorrow so why don't you catch me out on the pier and I will take you to lunch before you go.
Just look for my little yellow forklift or ask any Todd employee where I'm hiding.

Ed - it was good to get to know you the bit I did at our get-togethers. I'm sure you'll enjoy being back on the other coast and your new duties sound pretty good for you as well.

I know Semper Fidelis is a Marine thing but the thought is still the same, no matter which service.

Best of luck.

Aaron
