Joe and his lovely wife, Della have done more for racing than anyone ever. Please post your get well wishes here and I'll print them out and see that they get to Joe and Dellie.

Your turn, HAMBers.

 

The Hemi in my Model A was machined at Reath Automotive. When I decided to rebuild the motor, I couldnt think of a better place to do the machine work then Reath. I would sit in Joes office with him and he would tell me story after story. What a legend! Prayers going out, for a speedy recovery.
