Great Story! Sounds like my brother and his 69 camero.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah... that's what I'm talkin' about... thanks Steve!
...a few more pics...
My wife HATES this one pic of both of us because it truly does make her look heavier than what she is ( she is right it is a terrible picture...don't tell her I put this pic up either) in fact I'm about 20 lbs heavier in that pic than I am now....I need to get rid of that pic
and the other is my older brother and myself in St. Ignace some years ago. He is the reason dad wouldn't let me have that old SS when I was a kid. Dad did say " If I let you have that car as a kid you would have killed yourself"...looking back, he is probably right!
Great story Steve and nice to meet you.

Great interview Steve. I enjoyed the Chevelle story too. Nice to get to know you.
Steve.....I just reread this and saw the photos you added!
You know.......a cold beer, the love of a beautiful woman, a great car and rock-n-roll...........What more in life could be better?

So much to learn, so little time.....
Well buddy, it sure is nice getting to know even a bit more about you! Great interview, fantastic follow-up with the Chevelle story, but then, you went and did the unthinkable!!! You're absolutely right about "getting rid" of that one picture!!! Oh no...The both of you look just fine. It's....it's....it's that bloody cap you have on!!! Please, please don't tell me that's what I think it is! If it really is, this is John...In Packerland....looking down....with a tear in his eye....shaking his head.
Cheers,

I'd like to still be a 165 lbs and still have my long white blonde hair..... also I'd like another shot at making the Packers football team.. not that I ever had one but.....Originally Posted by Ken Fitzgerald
Not to worry fellow Packer fan, that cap is my son's High School logo...I know it looks like da bears but it is a Black hat with a Orange "C" for Charlotte.Originally Posted by John Miliunas
Well there ya go blowing it all by outing yourself (yet again) as a wannabe Cheesehead. Was all set to tell you that it's been fun knowing you, but now I'll just have to settle for a cold beer and thoughts of all the cars I've owned at one time or another and wish I still had.

165............I haven't seen 165 since my sophomore year in HS.
But you want to talk about weight gains.......I met my wife on a blind date on a Saturday night. I weighed in at 176 lbs. 3 days and 3 dates later I asked her to marry me. 8 days after that I left for bootcamp. Now prior to 1968 certain people got out of the service by crying that they were losing weight because the services weren't feeding them right. So in 1968 the Navy at Great Lakes bootcamp had a policy. You got a full tray as you went through the chow line. It had to be empty when you put it on the dirty tray rack. They didn't care how you emptied it ...but it had to be empty.
Well 7 weeks after I climbed on the train for Chicago and bootcamp, I climbed off the train to be met by my Dad and my future bride.....I was over 200 lbs and instead of having blonde curls ....I was a shavehead. I can still see the look of pride on my Dad's face and the look of disbelief on my future wife's! Two days later we were married, BTW.
In 1977 the year after I got out of the Navy, I got into martial arts in a big way. Between 1968 and 1976 I got upto 220 lbs ....after about 6 months of serious martial arts training, I was down to 194 lbs. and didn't have an ounce of fat on me.
I haven't been under 200 since 1979.

Nice interview, Steve. I was initially wondering why the SS wasn't mentioned...glad to see you added the second chapter. I'll be looking forward to seeing what that little starter lathe of yours can do.
