RE: WTT Sand Rail for Jeep
Today, it is my 40th anniversary with Jeeps and Jeepin......
26 of them. They all have been wonderful.
It started here, when I was 8 years old. I feasted on this photo of my dearest daddy in his war scrapbook, in his Willys MB at age of 22 on the Island of Saipan in the South Pacific during WW2. I wanted to be like him and I wanted one of those Jeeps so bad I could taste it. I saved for 4 years. I finally had $204.60 when I was 12 almost 13. I put it all down and financed the Jeep below for 24 months for $11.34 per month through Wells Fargo Bank, my folks co-signing for me. I bought it for $450.00
From this, in April, on the 15th, 1965...............
....to this, April 15th, 2005...........
...and it seems like only yesterday. The gulf of years blur as they pass astern with wonder and reflection this day. The voyage is half over for me now, at 52 turning 53, May 9th.
And forward, at the final end of this long odyssey, the memories will be very great.
1965-2005
