Rich, I think geezer is a state of mind. At Bonneville I love it when I
hear guys alot older than I am ( 4-12-41 ) talking about what they are
going to do for next year. I have people ask me when I'm going to
retire. I tell them I never will. I'm sure I'll have to slow down but
there is so much I want to do I'll never have time to finnish all the
work I have now. Every time I build a car I say I only want to build one
more. I was at San Fernando drag strip the day the first car ran over
150mph.    just another doug
