Re: [old-chevy-truck] Quite a Moment
Mike: As everyone else has already saidthanks for sharing a great story Send me over the video clip when you get a chance. You did a great thing for your dad that he will never forget. That is what this hobby is all about. Many times we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life (especially this time of year). Doing the simple things in life usually leaves the best impressions. Thanks again. Kent S Butler '56 Chevy 3100 Houston, TX From: fahrbach51 To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon, November 28, 2011 10:10:45 PM Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Quite a Moment Sorry to bore any of you with a heartfelt story, but my Dad just turned 93 a few days ago. He suffered a stroke in 1994, which impacted his vision such that he could no longer drive. He spent his life taking care of everyone else, and overnight became dependent on others to get him around. It was, and remains, a very tough pill for him to swallow. The other day, I offered to give him a ride in my '51 3600. He beamed, and was so excited to ride within a cab filled with so many reminders of earlier days. You should have seen the grin. I turned off the highway, onto a dirt country road seldom traveled, and asked him if he wanted to take it for a drive. He asked if I was sure, and I said I had never been more so. I ran around to the passenger side, he slid across before I could change my mind. He needed no instruction, just put it in gear, let out the clutch without any throttle, and slowly stepped on the gas. It wasn't but a few minutes and we were in 4th, and I was telling him he should slow down. I do not have the words to describe the look on his face, for those moments he controlled the big wheel and relived so many memories. "Man, this baby sure runs good" he said, over and over. It was the best time he and I have EVER spent together, and will remain the best memory I will ever have of this truck. If you would like to see a short video of a man in his element, email me and I'll send you a clip. Thanks for "listening". Mike Fahrbach 1951 3600 !!!
