Happy 85th Birthday Grandpa!
« on: December 21, 2019, 10:50:52 pm »
Today we had our 5th family Christmas without Grandpa, he would have been 85 (we lost him at 79 to cancer, a few months before his 80th). Here is his childhood engine that started it all for me  :)

Nice remembrance there Nick!

It is always good to remember that time is all we've really got  .......   but we only get so much of it, and no more!!!
