Default I feel good all over

My '31 Roadster and I were invited to Fountain Towers (a senior high rise in Rochester MN) . The seniors were having a party whose theme was "memorabilia days". The idea was to have each of them have their picture taken standing next to the car.
Then someone wanted a ride. There was no way any of them could have gotten in the (unfinished) rumble seat so I took nine trips around a one mile block. The eight women and one man were so thrilled to bring back memories of their youth. Each of them told me about how they had ridden in a model A when they were young. They were aged from 87 to 95. This is the first time in quite a while that I have been surrounded by a group of people and felt to be the youngest person there.
This event made ten people happy.

Minn-Tex Lee, I know how good you feel. I recently took my 1930 Murray fordor to a friends 92nd birthday party. He and his brother and his son in law got the first ride. Many of his grandchildren also wanted to ride. I was pleased that so many young people wanted to ride. Everyone who wanted to got to ride. It was a good day.
