Bill,
That was my son that tried to talk to you in Springfield. He and I were
talking on the cell phone as I watched from North of Bloomington and he
was driving to Springfield where my wife had been working at a horse
show all day for some friends that were putting it on. Her truck was
parked in the middle of a huge bunch of hot rods by the time she was
ready to go about 3pm.
Didn't know if you noticed my car there or not, but glad you noticed
us. The car looked good going by. Looked like a lot of fun, I assume
you are going all the way to Florida.
Have a safe trip, hope you got a chance to take some of the side roads
that used to be Route 66.
