My Condolences... but I am glad to hear that you were unhurt (physically).
I have never communicated with you directly on the list, but I have really
come to enjoy hearing about your and Nigel's exploits. I often lapse into
daydreams about what life will be like after getting the restoration done on
my '73 after reading your posts. You and have my deepest and sincere
sympathies. Tell Nigel to get well soon!
