Garbz (Off Topic)

I spoke with David last night on the phone, he is preparing for a heart vessel stint to relieve some blockage that he has. His procedure may require only an overnight stay with a few days recovery before back to work.


I posted so that any of you that would, remember him in your thoughts and prayers for the next few days. Dave's heart is as big as the state of Penn. where he came from, always willing to help anyone in need.


John

I met him at the Western Nats...he's a great guy and a walking encyclopedia on these old trucks.

Take care David.

Unfortunately have not had the opportunity to meet Garbz, looking forward for the opportunity to do so. Have a family member who just went thru the same procedure, with the new technology she was on her feet in 24 hrs. My thoughts go out to you Dave, take it slow.

Mom just had her heart surgery (valve repair) and was back to business in a few weeks. You'll be fine just do what the Doc says to and stay positive. THINK ABOUT THAT FORD! All the best, Bob
