Randy, I lost my 92 year old Mom a few years ago, She still comes to me in dreams once in a while. The good thing is that in my dreams she hasn't got one gray hair, no arthritis, nor an ache or pain, and I smile when I remember her that way.

Sorry for your loss.

Thanks for the replys. My mom led a very active life. raised us 3 kids , lived by her self and did as she wanted (dad passed away 13 yers ago), and was just ill for about 3 weeks and found a large mass of cancer that would have required major surgery and a complete change of her lifestyle. So she ended up with pneumonia and went quick, I think she was ready to go and went the way she wanted so yes she will be missed, but a lot of people have loss loved ones earlier and at long drawn out affairs that drain everyone, so I think we were lucky all the way around. I really didn't plan to bring this to the forum, its a place to bring Studebaker info and talk Studebakers,so will not be mentioned again. Thanks again thou for the concern! Randy [B)]

Why don't I find it surprising that someone that owns a Packard Hawk would like a color that gets noticed/draws a lot of attention <G>?
