Right after I got married we went to a (wife's) family reunion, mostly for
her parents to show us off to everyone, a large family. We hung around, had
some food (no adult beverages). We were sitting there at a picni
Sorry to hear of your loss, my prayers are with all his family. Thank God
for him and others that were willing to climb in that plane time after time
to help secure the freedom we all enjoy. I hope I get to go to his part of
Heaven.

Sincere condolences also!
One can only celebrate a life lived well and full. Though the loss is quite
real to us, we should hope to live such a long and honorable life.

Hello, Rusty -,
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Dementia and the related
Alzheimers are so devastating. Any disease that makes people forget the
spouse they loved for a 1/2 century or more is so hard on those nearby as
well as the one suffering from the disease - even if they don't r
The seller of that one here in RI just e-mailed me-he sold it for 750.00.
One can only fantasize. (Or rationalize).

I think they would have given you the jump-I have called twice for 240D.
Once I canceled as the campus police jumped me in the meantime. They sent an
ML 320 full of batteries to sell if jump failed. If they can't fix they try
to get you towed to their stealer base. Probably would have charged a to

I've toyed with the idea should one of those rust free W123s in Arizona look
appealing! Nice thing about fares on the train is it doesn't seem one is
penalized in buying a one way ticket. Brother recently bought airfare on
short notice and found it cheaper to buy round-trip though he wouldn't use

Hmm, I wonder if they'd have given mine the strap?
I got an appointment with the Indy as soon as I can get the car that. Blasted

Well the boy's car had loose connectors, he jiggled them but did not
tighten them before calling for the jump. I think what happened was
moving from hot Texas to cold Philly, and the temps dropping up there to
cold levels, loosened them just enough that they were not making good
