Gene --

Thanks so much for letting us know that Frank's car lives again!

Frank was one of the first people I met when I joined the Register shortly 
after purchasing my TD in 1973. It was always a pleasure to see him at 
Gatherings, and I can still remember the shock I felt when we heard of his 
death.

We'll be looking for Dave and the TD this weekend in Oneonta.
