Dave,

Ahhhh...I do remember The Dalles, Oregon! Nothing like living on the Columbia River in the most beautiful gorge in the world...The Columbia River Gorge!

Darn, that was a long time ago for sure...I will have to look at the letter to Jerry. Haaa...I wrote him so many times asking questions about this and that, that the USPS made some money from both of us for sure.

I was 29 then and belive it or not kept all those correspondance to Jerry and others who had helped me with the restoration of my September 1929 Standard Coupe.

That was 36 years ago and if some of you remember those days, what was accomplished then when you wanted information on a particular subject, it took weeks to hear back from someone on your technical questions so you could continue the restoration due to snail mail. NOW, it only takes for the most part, a few days, or less, to get an answer to your technical questions due to the internet and websites such as Ford Barn, MAFCA, MARC, ect.

Oh, Can't forget about the Judging Standards as they were called then...I think they were out then...or close to it...Just a few sheets of paper...I think...Anyone?

Thanks for the memories David!
