I am sorry to hear that. She seemed like a nice gal through a couple of e-mails
I've sent. Galen was going to judge unrestored originals at Mopars on the Mississippi in Dubuque, Ia. next weekend. I wouldn't expect him to be there
due to the circumstances. Prayers! toolmanmike

Yes, any loss like this (especially when so young) is a tragedy. As you said, it is time to put aside differences and send a little moral support to those left behind.

sORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

There’s a reality check for you.
I would imagine that he and I are poles apart on what is important in a car.
But speaking of what is really important in life, 100 years from now will it matter if my car is one of 12?
If his wife had an illness, maybe that explains why some people report a big backlog in getting information from him.
Not an excuse, just guessing at a reason.
Would be nice if there was someway to send an e-sympathy to him considering his name recognition in the ………….. “Automotive field?”
Maybe we could note our sympathy on this tread for him to read.
People do care.
