Thanks to all of you for your kind words and congratulations. Why Nancy has put up with my obsession with old cars for all these years is a mystery to me, but I’m sure lucky. She’ll even help me work on them sometimes!
My gift to her for her birthday about 30 years ago was a Studebaker GT Hawk which I had secretly restored in a friend’s shop – she drove that car as her daily driver for 17 years, and that seemed to have won her over. Everyone in town knew that the black Hawk with the silver top (and the silver haired lady with the lead foot driving it) was Nancy B, (and that was her license plate too). Other than the car being a speeding ticket magnet, I think she enjoyed the notoriety.

Dick,
On behalf of the Institution of Marriage you are hereby saluted for dedication, perseverance and the "never say die attitude" more young ones should emulate before abandoning the ship of Marriage. For just like the cars we all love so much, the women who drive us deserve more than we can ever possibly acknowledge.
Hugs to the "true" women in our lives!!!
Aiming for 50 ourselves,
