An excellent idea for 'cornerstones' remembrance Mark.
yes... fond memories of old friends.
Up front I met Fred up at a DE show by the river side years ago. We'd travel
to shows together along the Mid Atlantic region.
Me in a Midget (then later in an MG or Spit) and he in his TR3
I think a record was set when Frank C and three others (including myself)
complexly de-constructed a Midget in front of my homestead in under an hour
and dispersed the parts to four separate vehicles heading all over the
place. seeing Franks kids bring his Bugeye to Carlisle even after his demise
made the passing that much harder, but the memories sweeter.
