Update on Rob (the 62 Raffle winner)

[AuburnFJsexy]

I sent Rob a message over the weekend to see how everytthing was going and to make sure he made it back to Chicago. He said he has been doing a lot of baseline work on the 62, but has been really busy with work and hasnt had as much time as he would like to on the truck. He is currently in Buenos Aires, Argentina through Rotary International. His local town of Wilmette, IL donated a ladder truck to Las Parejas, Argentina and he is down there showing them how to use it. He said he is having a great time and getting in some good with the locals. Well that is the news he game me and I know a couple people were asking at the last meeting how he was doing, so he ya go...

Hello Georgia!

Been a busy month or two up here in Chicago, but I wanted to touch base with you all and just say "hey"!

I've been out of town with work doing some training with volunteer firefighters in a small industrial town about 4 hours northwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Really great country and a cool experience getting to know the locals.

"Georgia", our affectionately named cruiser is doing well. After driving the snot out of it for a while and making a big to-do list, I finally retired her to the garage and up on some stands. She's getting a good cleaning underneath, plus the front axle is torn apart awaiting some new seals and felts and the works. Gonna tackle a few leaks if they don't require any heroic measures... and hopefully it'll all be done by end of May or early June for some wheeling and a trip or two. Oh yeah, I've got a lockright on order as well. Thank you all again for the good times and the good truck. I'm having a blast in the garage!

Allison also says, "Hello!"
