It instantly gave them a fresh new truck after having the '49 design for all those years - never mind that the Lark body shell dated to '53. It still worked!

I could charge for a tour.<br /><br />It would be panicville for me if<br />on a ship and have a fire. Glad you<br />knew what to do...and came out alive.shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-13107661107954289102013-10-24T23:03:06.348-04:002013-10-24T23:03:06.348-04:00It is kind of sad to think of all that history and...It is kind of sad to think of all that history and memories and then it sold for one penny.<br /><br />Hey that is kind of like life.

That is a shame. Lots of history there. I do like your idea about a hotel though. <br /><br />I'm sure it would be frightful to be aboard a ship with a fire especially on watch! <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-66675711431072667592013-10-24T19:11:22.594-04:002013-10-24T19:11:22.594-04:00Sounds like a real bargain for a penny.

Glad you survived it all. Parts of northern Ohio are seeing snow here. Not us.
