Hey Barry.  Good to hear from you.  Yes, indeed, it was my car.  You remember, we were practicing bridging and rafting.  My confidence in the equipment and the crew was not misplaced one iota, as the car stayed around to participate in many more adventures over the next six years.  I didn't know who was left out there.  Tommy Stack, Louie Warren, Manfred Stevens, Scotty Grant, Bruce Martin, and probably some more that I haven't heard about, are all gone now.  Pro Patria

Ray , What a line of bullshit . The only reason you let us play around with your car , was because you were drunk and didn't know any better . But that was the way to go as I found out . I never drank until I met up with you and Ralph Priestman , Joe Bennett and a few others from my good old Pioneer days . Well maybe I drank just a little , but you helped me perfect it .

Hope all is well with you and you're right it's sad to see all the names of past friends that have passed on .

Have a good one ; Barry

It's good to hear from another Pioneer from that era.
