[Spridgets] A Paul A Morris Minor

[Ron Soave]

So this made me look... 15 years ago tomorrow, Frank, Peter, Paul and I met for lunch. Paul called me from Oregon to tell me a Morris owner in Chicago was flying him in to work on his car, and he thought he'd have an extra half-day. Frank called me, opening the conversation with "I need a road trip NOW." In the "I'll buy, you fly" spirit we had, Frank and I split the cost of an airline ticket and he flew out. Peter came down from Madison, and we had a memorable time spending the afternoon in Elgin at a forgettable McChilibee's talking LBCs, drinking a few beers and watching the attendees of bridal exposition in the attached hotel lobby. Hard to believe only half of the attendees are still around, and I can't remember the last time we wrenched on a car together. Need to change that.
