KT;
Thanks for sharing this very personal story about your mom. What a memory .
Kinda' reminds me during high school ,when my mom wondered where the white shoe
polish came from on her '66 Fairlane windshield. Just a few trips to the local
AHRA dragstrip in Norwalk, Ohio. Good luck in OZ and go get that 6th Red Hat!
Say hi to Tawn.
