And I remember seeing the car & trick or treating at his house. Sammy Davis jr. was also nearby but never home & said to be a no show as a Dad.

But great memories. We moved about '66 after my parents split up. I wish we had never sold that property for so many reasons.
Hats off to make 600 mph.

Now they are getting past halfway there in a freakin 1/4 mile. Staggering.
