Tom: I'm sorry to hear about the accident and I hope that your
Grandmother, Mother and Yourself have no permanent injuries come out of it.
It could have been worse and vehicles can be replaced! You will definitly
be missed at Daktoberfest and the burnout will be deferred to the summer
BBQ. You must be one of the people that have nine lives , as adventuresome
situations find you! Consider the Toronto Performance World Show in March
as a future DML outing.
