Which would make you the oldest active participant on PackardInfo and perhaps explain some memory loss.

I doubt very much that I am the oldest active participating member here! I bought my first Packard as a 16-year old in the mid-'60s when I lived in Bellevue, WA (I bought it in the small town of Hadlock) and there are a couple photo albums for it on my Packard / IMPERIAL Page (the photo albums are currently functioning poorly on some browsers and mobile devices but I'm working on it). By the time I was 17-years old, I had four Packards: a 1939 Six, two 1940 110s and a 1941 Henney-Packard hearse end-loader with extension table. None were quite yet even antiques either but had all lead rough lives so were not in great condition. Only one of them, a 1940 110, became a regular driver after some restoration.

Other members have mentioned personal car-related experiences to me and I read them in various postings that happened so long ago that make it impossible for me to be the oldest. The memory loss is due to a head trauma around the same time, not age!
