My wife died yesterday
This is just to let you know that Carol-Jean died on Jan 1. She was a 9 year survivor of pancreatic cancer. On Aug. 10 she fell and broke her hip. She recovered nicely from that but on Oct. 28 the oncologist said there was nothing further that could be done for her cancer. We did manage to keep Carol-Jean home and comfortable until the end.

Thank you, Pat.
I hope you are doing well. I am doing OK. I finally finished my 1936 Packard just before we moved to our new house.
The 1916 Model T coupelet is off at a friend"s house getting a starter installed. That is fairly involved, which includes removing the engine and transmission and putting a new flywheel, magneto magnets and coil ring in the transmission and putting a different transmission cover on. Of course, to remove the engine and tranny the hood, radiator, steering column and firewall have to come off. In my current physical condition that is a bit too much for me to do. But this will allow me to start the car and drive it.
