Your chronicle on the assembly of the Toy Box has been wonderful to follow. The Herman Miller pieces were especially interesting because we have several of his pieces, one of which I had shipped back to Virginia from Austin, Tex. where there is a store specializing in his work.
I am sorry to read of an accident involving this marvelous project. My curiosity, however, forces me to ask its cause and consequences. If the subject is emotionally charged for you, please forget I asked.

Bill...on my list I have owned the 55,
now own the 56,
a 57 Nomad I've owned but NOT FI,
the '62 hardtop I prefer over the bubble top which looks, to my eye, better on the 61 but I never owned either just raced against them in the early 60's,
did own and do a '61 vette to NCRS specs,
owned a '66 Corvair conv but 110hp,
owned and did a '65 SS convertible with a 396 and powerglide,
owned a '66 396SS Chevelle but 360hp not the 375 (car paid my way through the last two years of college),
owned a '67 Small block survivor vette which I bought at Carlisle in 1993...
My list is centered around the cars I've either owned or admired from close range. The very first car I ever drove, at the age of 12 in 1957 on the streets of Washington, DC was my father's '49 coupe.
The 39 stems from Bob Bernardon's "Jolly Dolly" C or D/Gas 39.
The 32 is exposure to Mickey McChesney's gorgeous cars.
Each of us has his or her favorite automobile. The best is always the one car, or list of cars which carries the most powerful and pleasant memories.
All the late model vettes, including the two ZR-1's I've been lucky enough to own and drive, don't come close to the emotional significance of the early cars in my life.
Alas, my garage is the size of my car budget: 2 Late Model transports, the '56 and my wife's '55 T-Bird. And only one of those can be worked on in the garage at a time.

Wayne, it was a distinct pleasure to meet you and to peruse your windowed delivery, a truly rare car. I hope that you were able to find the time to check out my '56 wagon in the staff parking lot...definitely not quite right but fun to drive...
thank you for the kind comments about TRAACA and the show. I know the Region members wanted to create a memorable experience for all those who participated and it looks like they did it.
