Randy- the creative one

In 1962 after five years in California we were able to afford to go back to Minnesota to visit relatives. After bidding goodbye to Grandma Rye we drove by Orv's station in Hills,Minnesota where there was a 31 Model A five window coupe for sale. I sought out the teacher owner and gave him $250. Someone, I suppose Orv from the full service station stored it in my Mother's garage.
Fast forward to 1970 when we had moved to Colorado and Randy was in junior high. We drove to Minnesota and towed the Model A back to Loveland.
Randy and I enrolled in a mechanics course at the junior college in Fort Collins.
With the Model A, Randy was the center of all attention.
At the garage at the Columbine Randy dismantled it part by part and transferred it to a new running gear that we had obtained from the Antique Auto house in Loveland.
The shop teacher at the junior high school,Lowell Martin, reproduced the hard wood components that were in the roof.
Randy spent many hours at this task. Robert Thompson of Hills had overhauled the engine during the time the Model A was in Hills.

Pictured above is Randy many years later in Fort Collins(2006 ?) as he prepared the car for sale. He sold the car in 2007.
His creativity is carried on in the deeds of his children, Granddaughter and Court.
