cobra for wife and me--30th anniversary in fall 2001, this summer university where I work wanted to do a story about car,they had seen car in previous homecoming parades,so brought it and momma to campus,where all of our family has graduated. Campus photographer took many pictures for story-talked with wife long time. Story and pictures will come out this fall in gem of the hills,alumni mag.to some 65thous. alumni. Hope it is good. Had to drive mustang 2000 gt ragtop to london cobra show last week, parked in street with cobras, sitting under tree, three little girls came up estatic, father came up, remarked and it,s from alabama, at which time I got up went over spoke to him said it,s my car, one little girl exclaimed the car to be the car of her dreams. They were from prattville alabama. Wanted to sit in car, I obliged, noticed one little girl to be quite frail as I helped her in , father turned to me and said she has cystic fibrosis and is here for the london cobra fund raiser. Not expected to live for too long. Watched them leave among the cobras up the street, went back to my chair and tree and cried.I,m sorry. Will-alabama
