For Derek Thrille, for selflessy batteling the elements of time and nature, to rescue two abandonded and derelict Buicks, solely for the purpose of ensuring other Pre-war guys can have an opportunity to secure the parts. Talk about a real Buickman...

HEAR HEAR, the Thriller is indeed a BUICKMAN if ever there was one. I mean someone who's goal is a Buick of every decade in his garage... gotta be considered a Buickman. And yea, he'll help anybody out in anyway he can. I won't say to what extent he has offered help to me more than once, but will say I was truly humbled. So here ya go, Thriller

Aw shucks...thanks guys. It was hardly battling the elements...a bit cool, but no rain or snow or anything like that...with a cup of coffee and cookies after we got everything loaded up and the truck and trailer out of the yard.

Bob...I think you may be on to something - The Lamar - a statuette based on the Buickman image Lamar has...to the BCA what the Oscar is to acting.

Dave - thanks for the chuckle. Every now and again, I try to remember to quiz Joseph on what he learned that day. Just to set the record straight, it was a Junior Literary Award that Teresa won...not to diminish it, but I understand that is given to any youngster who has an article published. It is a concept that is cherished though.

Lamar - I've still got my fingers crossed....

The BCA is going to be in good hands for a long time to come if Thriller's kids are a representative sample!

Dave, I think you have hit the nail on the head. They have big shoes to fill but they sure look like they well be able to fill them.

Congrats, Thriller, and all the family, lets hope they stick with it, we need more folks like this to take the reins over! You all RULE!
