Hi OCG!  I was at the Cincinnati Concours  last weekend and remember meeting you all those years ago and wondered how you are doing.

Nature has taken its' toll on me at the end of 2024. But I'm on the mend and starting to get may act back together. 

Nice that you  thought of me. That Cincinnati Concours was like twenty years ago... Pleasant to have met you. I remember we had a great time there. My 1933 Buick invited... and received best in class.

Since then I added a few more to my accomplishments.

Fantastic OCG, and thanks for sharing your wonderful collection of cars. Always a joy to see such great rolling car history.

I don't know what misfortune found you in 24, but I am very pleased to hear you are nearer your old self now! Like everyone else here we love it when you check in, and never tire of ogling your sweet rolling fleet! I hope we hear from you frequently as you are getting back up to full power!

I was diagnosed with Cancer in December 2024. And finished with treatments five months ago. Radiation sure has its' way at taking the wind out one's sails. My entire life, I've always been an overachiever, while having a positive attitude. And determined to regain my strength that it took away. Though age has a way of creeping up with oneself. In my mind it's nothing more than the number of candles on the cake. Even being an octogenarian I cannot see myself ever living in any kind of retirement home, nor with any of my eight children. Today I may not be as fast; but I'll always be  steadfast. Far from being burnt out...

Some how the picture of my Packard didn't appear on my last post.

Glad to hear you are doing well.

Always enjoy your posts and projects. Your cars are magnificent you have a very impressive collection.

I am with you on the mind part - I'm still the same 18 year old in my mind I have always been including my puerile sense of humor.

Wow!  That car is something else!

Hope the treatments went well and you're getting back to full strength.
