Meat and Potatoes - Then Dessert

[Trulyvintage]

Recently I got a call from someone

I had delivered a project vehicle

to many years ago in Tacoma, WA.

 

 

Anthony remembered me and had moved his VW service & customization

business to North Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

He had a project on casters to move.

A 1971 Bay Window Slammed Roller.

 

 

 

We carefully loaded it using my 

four piece aluminum commercial

aluminum ramps and wood blocking.

 

 

Then we filled the remainder of the

inside of the trailer with totes and

a lot of VW misc parts including

axles and engines.

 

 

Then it was time for Dessert 😊

 

Millison had volunteered to help

Anthony on a Sunday do all this 

hard work so I treated all of us

to a nice lunch with appetizers 

at a nearby downtown Tacoma 

eatery that had outdoor dining.

 

 

As it turns out - Millison is a former

Air Force Pilot who is a current 

Alaska Airline Captain  - who also

happens to be a friend of my 

good friend Grant on Orcas Island

that I have moved (3) Stanley 

Steamer Mountain Wagons for.

 

 

 

 

They hadn’t been in touch since

Grant retired a couple years ago

from Alaska with 23,000 hours logged.

 

So I put them back in touch 👍

 

That was my Dessert 🍨

Another great story of how antique cars bring people together!

Was a bit dissapointed that you didnt have a pic of the lunch though!

And all this time I had thought "six degrees of separation" was just a bunch of hooey! Thx for showing us it's possible.

Works as long as population is less than 50,000 people.
