About a year ago I had the opportunity to meet Craig. He had a 1954 Chevy Bel Air two door hardtop that I was interested in buying. I called him out of the blue and asked him if he'd be willing to part with it. The rest is history. He was kind and gracious to me and my wife, inviting us into his garage and apartment upstairs the day we bought the car...we spent a couple of hours there talking about our car experiences. He was recovering from back surgery at that time and obviously not comfortable, but even so, he had time to tell us lots of stories! My condolences to his family. Will try to be there on the 25th with the Bel Air. Posted by Russ Parker - Loivilia, IA - acquaintance October 15, 2015
