Thanks. The "Scrounger" misses very little in his forays into anthropology. This chap was particularly interesting.

PS: Should it be made into a poster for a psych ward? "Before and After, perhaps?

Preston Henn's T-Bird Swap Shop 935 (Over All Winner)dispatching Group 44 Jag and an "over-run" photo near sunset. These "flame out" events were spectacular at night.
