I think Dad's Bomber Jacket had a few holes in it, never saw him wear
it though. Camel hair coat yes, bomber jacket, no.

Tell a little story...
I've always had a fondness for this 1973 Buick
Riviera, and even in its day, thought it was something special. Never imagined it would achieve the cult status it enjoys
with many today. When they were new, in some neighborhoods, they were a common sight. A friend of my mother (Pat and Carter
Best of Bayside), owned a nearly identical car. In fact, one evening at a neighborhood country club, my father spent twenty
minutes trying to open the door, until he realized, it wasn't our car.

| This car is 35 years old now. |

| Mom replaced the Riv in 1976, with this new LeSabre Custom |
First Car!
1968 Thunderbird
For car buffs- Memorable car. Prior to my ownership, was rarely driven, by literally, a little old
(rich) lady. Powerful, mine was equipped with big engine option. "429 ThunderJet V-8 Engine (360 Horsepower) (Became
optional on January 1, 1968) ($53.18) New option" as per Hemmings Motor Club.
Home Alone. Rambling around upstairs at home during a Winnetka blizzard (1980's)
My Christmas time, 1990
Skipping 20 or so years, and stepping back ten, I enjoyed driving this Cadillac.

Actually...The Seville is long gone. I now have this 89 Sedan Deville. (Update three years past, the Deville is history too.)
Nice, ride, keeps up with traffic alright. Technically fairly simple for a Cadillac. Good car for while I'm a mostly, full
time MBA student. Would rather have a new one though.

Update-Update: Actually I have, or had, this nice BMW 740il. for which I had made plans to restore to
original completely. Now, following damage and later vandalism near University of Wisconsin Madison campus (none
of which I was compensated for BTW) further progress is debatable. My opinion of Madison , and UW was low to begin with, and
can't really get any lower.....
