It has been almost a full 5 months since I last posted on this forum, and, in a couple of weeks it will be 2 years since I joined..... Over those two years I have met a lot of nice people, been on some nice Vette cruises and have had good discussions and debates with fellow CCF members. But, sadly, over those two years I have had 4 immediate family members pass away. The latest, on July 29th, at 35 years of age, my oldest son Franco. Franco also had a passion for fast cars, motorcycles, and snowmobiles. On many weekends (he was a Ford guy) he would launch his 1050h.p. Mustang at Mission speedway and his grin said it all. He was a great young man and an even a better son.... As we are just a couple of weeks away from Xmas, the timing of this (sad) posting may seem a bit odd, but it is exactly why I decided to post, because Franco enjoyed Christmas. Im sure that at some point in time we have all either said or been told that "life is short". I personally thought and perhaps still think that its an over used cliche..... but, at the end of the day, that cliche sure packs a hard wallop. As such, I hope that we all continue to follow our passions, continue to share our stories, our differences, and (cliche or not) hold our friends and family close to us. So, in memory of a fellow car enthusiast, and my family to yours, I wish you all a fun and safe Holiday Season.
