Hanno was as good as his word and has said nothing. Dank u wel Hanno..

Thanks Barry, but actually . . . I did offer a sneak preview last March

I felt it was appropriate to post the picture below to commemorate your good veteran friend Herb Danter after he passed away. One month later, the veteran on the right, Art Bell, also passed away.

Gordon, that HUW of your is really a great truck, and I am happy to have seen it in the metal. Most of all, back in November 2007 it was a fitting backdrop for a photograph of two great veterans. I would never have thought these two men would be gone a little over a year later. I hope your truck is preserved for many more years to commemorate guys like Herb and Art
