Sorry to hear about your mom. I know you have been very busy helping
out with your parents needs lately.
I hope you father is doing better.
The swap meet sounds like a good idea. I have a lot of Brit stuff
laying around here that might actually
do someone some good. I will forward to the Morgan Club. Quite a few
of those people have other Brit cars.
All the best,
Wendell
