I had heard Dave was sic k but had no idea it was serious. Give him my best and I will keep him in my prayers. I'll give Bruce a call today.

I talked to Bruce yesterday and Dave has shown some improvement. He has been moved to a critical care hospital. He is awake and talking and can answer questions. He wants the boys to take his buick to Kentucky even though he can't go. Keep him in your prayers.

Glad to hear that Dave is doing better. I pray that God gives him a full recovery. When I first met Dave, it was about 30 years ago, he came to me wanting a 409 Chevy engine. After we did that project, I found out who he was and about his penchant for Buicks. I guess he likes big motors that are torque monsters. He ran a Gran Sport with a big inch Buick that got into the nines. It wasn't light either.
