Hey Guys,

Nice site you have going on here. I'm up in Cold Lake, Alberta.
Fix'n and hopefully running my 66 Ford Fairlane 500XL this summer.

Some of you may have seen running it in the Oliver, Osoyoos area. Mom & Dad used it as their daily driver untill 2yrs ago, when I was handed the keys and brought it out to Alberta.
Still a good running car, all original, but definatly needs some rust repair and TLC.

I'll try and get some pics up later this week.

Hey Culvert, welcome aboard. My baby nephew was a flight doctor for a short time at your base. Sean Winters, did you evermeet him?

[Culvert]

Tinmann, I sure do know him.
I had a couple herniated discs in my neck. And he was the 1 Doc that i got to see on a regular basis. Which is rare for us because they are always changing out.

Lost all feeling in my left side arm/leg. Finally had some surgery where they fused my discs in my neck together. Got me up and moving again but lots of side effects of neck pain and lack of strength.

My wifes uncle is out your way in PG. John Custodio. He works out at Weyrhouser.

Giday Culvert, very nice lookin Fairlane there, I just sold a 66 Galaxie. We didn't get coupes down here, only 4 door sedans, mind you there have been a few private improts in recent years but that Fairy looks pretty tidy.

Cheers, John
