My 65th is on April 12th. I am retired from Pratt & Whitney since 1999 and
almost retired from CSC. After 43 years I finally picked up a 58 TR3A last
June. It was the car I had when I first met my wife in 1962 in Seattle while
working my 1st real job at Boeing. I drove it to Georgia in January, without
a top, and then home to new England and finally took it to Germany for my
army obligation. My 1st son required us to get a larger car....a 62 VW! so
the TR had to go. We both wished that we could own one again over all of the
years so we finally did. I don't have the personal mechanical knowledge to
do major work so I have a pretty good local TR mechanic doing things. The
car has been restored but there are several things requiring attention that
I have been slowly addressing. Currently I am contemplating engine work
since there is some bearing noise. I haven't driven much yet <300 miles and
hope to be able to feel comfortable from a reliability viewpoint...
eventually. 
April 12th may be too ambitious for me :-)

Thanks, Fran
