R W Burgess Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Good evening AACA members. I know some of you have asked about Marshall's health since he missed a few events this summer. I contacted John Baldwin, president of the First Capital Antique Car Club Chapter of the North Carolina Region about Marshall today. His response below; <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Hello Wayne, Marshall is doing fine. He had back surgery and it has really helped. I will be sure to let him know you asked about him. We feel very lucky to be able to enjoy Marshall and know we are lucky to have his knowledge in our club. He is admired by many. John Baldwin</div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Dobbin Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Marshall made it to the 2007 Glidden Tour in Gettysburg, although a day late. It wouldn't be the same without the Model A Coupe and it's trailer with Marshal and Brenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I believe Marshall might have been a little late arriving on the Glidden due to tire problems. I think he had a flat tire on his tow vehicle, his trailer and the Model A itself. I'm not sure about the Model A's trailer, but that might have had a flat, too. He told me he wanted to transfer the gorilla off his back and onto mine. Sure enough, I got a flat two days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 West, I'll remember that nice gesture of yours the next time I see the gorilla looking at me. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 West, I had a trailer flat going up just south of the GA-FL line and transferred the Gorilla to Marshall. After his flats he transferred the Gorilla to you. After you had your flat you must have transferred the Gorilla back to me, because I had another flat on the trailer just north of the GA-FL line going home.

Shop Rat Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 And it must have visited W. Va. at some point because Bill has had one flat on the Dodge Ram and we have had two flats on our Taurus station wagon recently. Bill's daughter has had two flats on her Liberty up in Mass.It really is amazing how much junk there is on roads these days that will cause one.

Restorer32 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I've had 3 flats in the last 8 years or so. All 3 happened within "limping in" distance of that big truck stop on 81 just South of Scranton. We were thru there a few weeks ago and I held my breath till we were past.

Guest rbl2 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Someday I'll find those gremlins. I haven't yet figured out a suitable torture for them but I assure you it will be long, continuous, and painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R W Burgess Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Touring in something that big, you could probably have a drill press and lathe in the back set to make the spare parts you may need during breakdowns.
