Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Dad's Last Ride

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lu, sorry to hear about your dad and my and Paige's thoughts and prayers 
with you and family at this time. On the car, how about you writing up a 
article abut your dad's ride, and how much it meant to you, and along with 
some photos, jpegs, send it to me and I will forward it to a number of 
editors who might print in. Your dad would have probably liked that 'talent' 
and would be a nice way to honor him and what he meant to you. Take care, 
and God bless your dad. Chances are he is up there with my dad and the bench 
racing BS is now flying with how when 'they were down here' they had 4 
second 1/4 mile Gremlins......
