No compliments needed, it is an honor to work on this stuff.
Tuition? I think the word is "fruition". Funy you should use that word. It is one of the prowords I used to use when writing PERs. In fact I used it with some frequency that my boss in Afghanistan started making fun of me. I left for 6 months, and when I cam back he had to admit to having adopted the word himself in some PERS. Anyway, I am starting to ramble.
I was remiss in not following through with those ropes a couaple years ago. I have the purolator account number which I was supposed to give you to get them brought to here. There is a tractor trailer leaving Pet tommorow bringing us some artifacts and taking some back your way (as well as moving a LAV) but I suspect the timelines are a little short to make that work.
By the way, as I think I may have previously reported, we have purchased a closed top Diamond T cab and chassis from California, which is slated to be restored and the van body moved across. On paper this is tentatively planned for 2018, but of course there are always surprises and priorities can change. Then we will be able to re-assemble the open top Diamond T with it's wrecker body.
Hopefully you will make it out here again one day for a visit and see what progress has been made at the museum. Still a long way to go of course, and I am not sure I will live long enough to get it all done, but labor is accumulative, and it's done one hour at a time.
