Letter to Uncle Dick,

Uncle Dick,

Is this your car? It is just as I remember it. I don't think you should have ever sold this jewel.

It brings back memories of my sitting in the back seat with the top down--it doesn't get much better than that to an eight year old--who was thrilled to be sharing the life style of his about-to-be-married, "Camelot-like" aunt and uncle.
 
I remember being in Grandma Eva's garage after the wedding with Dad and his accomplices, as they worked over your Plymouth. They wired up a smoke bomb, Bon-Amied it with cute messages, filled it with rice, and attached cans to the rear bumper. I was disappointed that you outwitted them and took another car.

From that incident I can still remember exactly how to connect up a smoke bomb to a car; so you get some credit on my becoming an electrical engineer.

Love,

Neph Geoff
