I were in the market for a low mileage original 66 Corsa convertible I bet 
we'd want to be armed with all the info we could possibly have to make an 
educated decision before laying out over $10 G's. 

Everyone! Please let it be known that Bruce's prices are in Canuck Bucks, not 
"real money"... so that makes it about $500 for the daily driver and about $3 
G's for the low mileage Corsa...

With that said, I want to let you guys know what Cheryl & I did today. We 
drove the 64 700 sedan to Leitchfield in search of my paternal Grandmother's 
grave site. She died when I was 8 years old, and I hadn't been there in almost 29 
years... most of what I remembered was my Dad showing me his Mom's parents 
grave stone, and her grandfather's stone (the second largest in the cemetery)... 
he had been a "Circuit Preacher" and also the Sherriff of Breckenridge County 
KY right after the War between the States... Grandma's Dad had also served 
during the Spanish-American War. It was a good feeling, to stand there and 
remember, not just Grandma, but the stories that Grandma had told Dad, that he later 
told me...
I'll have to see what it will take to get a bronze plaque from the VA for 
great-grandpa Harned and his service during the Spanish-American War... I 
wouldn't have known about it if we hadn't found the papers in Dad's stuff when he 
died almost 5 years ago... 
On the way back the rubber part of the muffler hanger broke, so we limped 
into a convient store for a wire hanger... Cheryl came out with 2 fly swatters... 
(it has dual exhaust, so the whole muffler was dragging and sparking)... I 
tied it up to the fender brace and slowly drove home...
I hope your Memorial Day was as fulfilling as mine.
Looking forward to seeing you guys at the convention! I'll be the poor sap 
with the glow-in-the-dark leg cast.
Later,
Lonzo
