You make a handsome couple! Was Mary in a TV commercial or a movie or something? She looks familiar...

Does she always stand that way in pictures? She seems to be posing for something with a kind of pouty, far away look. Not that that's a bad thing. I'm sure it has it's good points. I, for one, am intrigued. Way to go! Does she have a sister?

No need for me to post a picture.
I'm sure you can picture me in your mind.
I look alot like Baz, mixed with "Larry the cable guy", less hair, and I don't wear any fancy britches like Baz!

My girl friend is beautiful like Mary, with dirty blonde hair, she looks good in a black dress but prefers jeans.
Now that you know who I am!
Who's next?

No Opels were harmed in the filming of this movie.
However two Mustangs, a Pinto, and a Capri were hospitalized.
One Mustang was euthanized the next morning.

For your information it's a thyroid condition that makes his eyes bug out like that. If nothing else he looks as if he is intensely concentrating on something all the time even when he's actually dozing off. He always got an "A for effort" in school and that's a good thing.

OK, I'll go next, here is me with the Opel and my wife Denise with the Solstice. While looking for photos I realized that I don't have one of us together because I take most of the pictures . My Dad took the one of me on a visit last year...

The Family

As some have met at previous shows, here is me with my family. My wife Diana, and sons Carlin and Bayleigh, Carlin wasn't too happy at the lake, so here is one at the Nationals showing off his new rock.
