I had the the pleasure to meet this lovely lady at a book signing in 2008 (age 74) and let me tell you gang, a freight train would still chase her down a dirt road!

 

Anyone else not seeing the pictures from raceron1120?

Jim, I was posting info as with some of the stuff I found, as long as 2 more years ago here. Was challenged on some posts, citing errors so I quit doing it. The 40, 50 or more year old info wasn't always so accurate! Oh I may still do it occasionally but certainly not as d[SIZE=2]e[SIZE=2]dicat[SIZE=2]e[SIZE=2]d to i[SIZE=2]t as I [SIZE=2]used to was.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]

[FONT="Courier New"][I][B][SIZE="2"]As for the p[SIZE=2]ost counts, [SIZE=2]I coul[SIZE=2]dn'[SIZE=2]t car[SIZE=2]e less abou[SIZE=2]t 'em[SIZE=2]. [SIZE=2]I'd be in[SIZE=2] favor o[SIZE=2]f removing them[SIZE=2] since they[SIZE=2] [SIZE=2]often [SIZE=2]become a bit controv[SIZE=2]ersial.

[SIZE=2]I have boxes [SIZE=2]with thousands of old mags & pics, plus thou[SIZE=2]sands of old [SIZE=2]Kodachrome sli[SIZE=2]des from the 30s-50[SIZE=2]s[SIZE=2] that I haven't scanned yet. That '46 Boy[SIZE=2]'s [SIZE=2]Life happened to catch my ey[SIZE=2]e the other day while browsing thru [SIZE=2]my 'va[SIZE=2]ult' of [SIZE=2]re[SIZE=2]tire[SIZE=2]ment hobby stuff. [SIZE=2]Some of thos[SIZE=2]e old illustrations [SIZE=2]really bring back the memories.

[SIZE=2]As is usually the case, there are some [U]GREAT[/U] memories here![/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE] [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE] [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/B][/I][/FONT][I][B][/b][/i][B][/b]
