Old Henry
Just read an older thread that had a posting by Old Henry. That got me to thinking that I hadn't seen any post of his for a while. Looks like he was last on the board last October. I know he had gotten into R/C airplanes. Just wondering if he is still touring in his '47? Years ago he posted this winter photo that I still use every now and again as wall paper on my lap top.

Re: Old Henry
I miss him too. He always amazed me with his travels. He never made a big deal about it, it was just a nice drive up to Alaska. Right now he's probably guiding an RC plane circumnavigating the globe.

Ken 36 is correct...Craig McAllister is an attorney. Old Henry is the Ford. The story I remember was that Craig and wife were going to go and do some sort of missionary-type adventure in some far-away, remote part of the planet. I remember picturing it as the type place where the natives would eat the visitors if given half a reason to do so, with little chihuahua dogs likely making a quick appetizer. Coop . |

Re: Old Henry
I always sat in the back seat, because the dog had the co-pilots seat. Great rides, felt like I was with him/

Re: Old Henry
Craig was from Utah. A quick facebook creep shows he was a disability attorney. Other than that not sure if he's still alive.
