Humbled by Friends; MANY thanks

[Lark Parker]

I just learned of your International trip. Forgot to tell you -- traveling with Ted seems to always turn into an adventure. Did you take some selfies to document the excursion? Ha. I'm glad you are mending and we all look forward to your next episode.

To add to your collection of remedies, one of the guys that used to work for me was never without a supply of 7UP. My memory says that his doctor recommended it and he passed the stone shortly thereafter.

Good luck and glad that you prevailed over the pain.

P.S. "This too shall pass".

Thanks for all the good wishes; 'feeling fine and back in the saddle.

Glad to see you back in action!

As promised, here is that swap meet photo I took on the Friday:

Wow, Craig; what a great photo. Thanks so much.

The couple in the photo are Luke and Michelle Krooswyk (pronounced CRUISE-wick) of New Lenox IL. Luke is a younger Studebaker enthusiast and the fellow responsible for creating the wonderful information signs placed in front of each Studebaker at The Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals show each November in Rosemont IL, west of Chicago. Luke and Michelle also chip in to help detail and move the Studebakers around as part of the Ed George & Company Team Studebaker detail.

Ironically, Luke and I had just been discussing the disposition of my personal Studebaker library upon my demise, in that I had been thinking about making such arrangements to insure that my personal correspondence and unique pieces of Studebaker literature didn't get buried with me and thus no longer available to the hobby (a fella has to consider such things, you know....). Luke and Michelle would be a perfect fit because Michelle does scanning and archiving for their local library.

However, given the seemingly-precarious status of my health barely 12 hours after this photo was taken(!), I was beginning to wonder if those prior-day arrangements had been prescient! YIKES! BP
