I think there are pictures on my web page (yes, the typewriter museum)

(ps I watched Airport recently...now I remember where I heard that name....)
My parents gave me a 73 Ford station wagon, did a lot of stupid and illegal things in that. The first car I bought with my own money was a 75 Mustang. No idea what happened to either car.


(PS George Kennedy's character was Joe Patroni.)
