That would be me.
Fred was very encouraging and supportive of the project.  It was that 
encouragement - after much discussion of pro's & con's that I decided to 
go ahead with it.   He was always available if I had a question - and 
always had an answer - sometimes they were 'off-the-wall' but even then 
it sparked additional ideas.  Las fall we agreed that I would be driving 
through Virginia on the way to TRA or TRF this coming summer and we were 
going to take a drive.   Sadly, it will be an empty seat now.
As others have said - I had a great admiration for him.  Many have used 
the word 'gentleman' - a word that described him to a T.
I haven't updated the photos in awhile..  should do that in the next few 
days.  Slideshow:

Wednesday afternoon a stray cat came into the yard...  Sat and watched 
me put the grill on the car.   Before I knew it he was laying on the 
front cowl.    This morning he was still here - I didn't see these notes 
until today at noon.   Although I don't know if Fred liked cats - I 
think 'FT' has found a new home.     God Speed Fred!
