No need to be sorry ... or speechless, bud . Just the way life happens, sometimes. Back then, if you had asked anyone who knew both of us which one of us would be the first to go ... they most-likely would've named me.

*grins* Thank you . I _thought_ Ronald McDonald House Charities would be on that list, too, but I wasn't sure. Spent a number of nights in the Ronald McDonald House near Children's Memorial Hospital as a kid when my checkups were at CMH. We used to make a night of it. We'd go into Chicago after Dad got home from work ... spend the night at the RM House and then head to CMH first thing in the morning ... and then stop for lunch on the way home. He heh.

Yikes ... why no internet? And, forgot you are in Des Moines ... missed seeing you when I was in Des Moines on my road trip last October. Met up with Nick from the 73-77 MC/a-body group there ... and got some pics of his 90s Mercury Cougar. Yep, I'd say so. It really is a gorgeous Malibu .
