Bette:

Perhaps if insurance came through fully for you, both of you could try it again someday. I too am sorry about the injury. The LEAST of the reasons is that I didn't get to talk cars with Marty. The GREATEST reason is that the start of a two week cruise is the worst time to suffer a debilitating accident ---- though there never is a good time.

But if Mary wants to "talk cars", he is always free to email me. Or, as I did once, he can actually post a car oriented thread right here on LCT. Nigaire will allow it, and once I posted a thread a bout "German Cars" and it had about 80 responses!

Thanks,
Richard
