    When I joined FABO……

    Turned 60 in December. Been losing my hearing for years, the speakers finally went out completly in September. Needed a surgical cochlear implant in November, now hearing again. I hope the 60's are better than the 50's. Doubtful but hoping. Aging is not for wimps.

    Formula "S" question

    My 66 Formula S has the 8 3/4 rear but the original owner said he changed it when the original 7 1/4 bit the dust back in the mid 70's.
