If you have been at any big Studebaker swap meet in the last 25+ years, you are well aware who Bo Markham is.
I met Bo back in the early 1990s when I first got the Studebaker itch and joined the SDC. At some point in those first few years, I was looking at something Bo had for sale. I probably said something about why would there be a difference between an NOS part or a reproduction part when Bo put his arm around my shoulder, gave me a serious look, and said, "Ah, young Patrick - we have sooo much to teach you..."
This post is to let all within reading distance know that Bo is going in for surgery on Monday to try and clear up a problem he has been having. He has been in and out of medical service over the last couple of weeks and they feel this is the next best step.
So if you will keep Bo in your thoughts and prayers, I know he would greatly appreciate the act.
Recovery will not end Tuesday, but knowing Bo, they will probably have to lock his buildings to keep him from digging through a pile of boxes to find some one-year-only interior item that he has the last NOS example that exists by Wednesday.
If you really want to speed up his getting back on the positive side, in the next couple of weeks, make an order that will empty a sizable percentage of his inventory - that would probably have him hopping and skipping around (with caution)...
Thanks folks.

Thanks for the heads-up, Patrick. 'Will be thinking of Bo and including him in prayers.
