Wow beautiful photo, and bitter sweet.
It's always nice to see or hear of our dear OSHIT friends even if only
digital. I think had Paul Asgeirsson stayed with us I would have gotten a
Morris Minor Traveler as they are so utilitarian. So sad Jim Johnson had
passed I think last year. Did Jim ever get his Spridget finished? As I
recall he was never the same after his dear wife passed.

Yes David W, April 11th we should post as many photos and memories of our
dear OSHIT friends.
Safety Fast dear friends,
Linda
