A great man has passed
I just learned that a good friend of mine has passed. The following is from an email from my friend Chris.
"Preston Ledbetter (aka Mr.
F-100) passed away on Tuesday October 26, 2004. Preston was a good friend to
all F-100 lovers and an icon in the automotive world. Preston was one of the
founders of the Ford F-100 Elite of Northern California - a truck club
dedicated to the preservation of the much loved 1953-1956 Ford F-100
Pickups.
Among Preston's many accomplishments in life, he has helped promote the
F-100 to one of the most collected trucks in the word, besides founding our
club 1969, he helped found the Annual North/South Run (a 34+ year gathering
of Northern and Southern California F-100 Owners each year and the oldest
F-100 Run in the country) and also founded F-100 Parts Unlimited (a business
dedicated to all years of ford trucks), all while being a good husband and
father to his family.
Preston represented many things in life, but most of all Preston was a
Friend.
God Bless you Preston, Rest in Peace."
