I got back this afternoon after seeing all my aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins that are still around on my Dad's side of the family. My sister actually made it out this time from Maryland. It was wonderful and hard too. My Dad's oldest brother is the oldest Liggett and he's just hanging on. He got diagnosed with PSP, Peripheral Superalgia Palsey, or something like that, about 7 years ago. He's not doing too good. For the past two and half years Ron has been under 24 hour care.
The rough part was the car Ron bought just before getting sick. At my Dad's funeral he described to me what car he always wanted, a 65 Mustang GT convertible, 289, 4 speed, poppy red.
This is the car he bought. 65 GT convert, 289, 4 spd, ac. The color is different. This was a one owner car with 33K miles. It runs and drives great, but it needs cosmetics. My cousin Mike is in charge of it since Uncle Ron can no longer drive it, or anything else. Mike had to hold off on his plan to restore it because of the economy.
The weather was just perfect for cruising this thing. Me and the cousins all used any excuse to drive it back into town for what ever reason. We ran an entire tank of gas off of it just running around the small town of Farmington where my cousin Pam has a farm.
I found this in Pam and Paul's barn. It's a '53 Furgeson. It has been mostly restored to get use on Pam's farm. I got it out and drove it all over the property and scaring the family along with the horses.
