Well, I remember the day we got the email from some guy in Hollywood (Maryland) who had just bought a '62 1/2-ton in Texas off ebay and was having it delivered. He had just found our web site and was chock full o questions. Peggy and I decided to drive over to his house, meet him and take a look at his truck (when it showed up). Well, that's what we did. We piled into the firetruck (to show solidarity with our new '60-'66 Brother) and found our way into the Heart of Darkness (the Mother of All Developments in So. Maryland ...) and to his house.
Meeting Doug for the first time ... Well, you can just imagine two Native New Englanders who've never met each other meeting... It was an awkward silence but without the awkwardness. Peggy didn't have much of a challenge in getting entire conversations in edgewise ... We started looking at the truck and eventually more words came. But it's always fun to crawl around a "new" truck... It was pretty neat, solid and a good candidate for a "rolling Restoration."
We agreed to stay in touch and he came by for a visit a week or so later ... The rest ... well, those chapters are still being written, shall we say.
