A guy doing it right!

Hi all,

Look in the latest edition of Hot Rod magazine, I think it's April or maybe March. Anyway, in the letters to the editor section in the front there is a letter from a high school teacher and he tells about teaching his kids using an Oldsmobile, I think it was a '56 four door. Anyway, quite impressive. I tried to contact him and discovered he is retired and did that his last year (probably school year 2007-2008). I left my phone number with the secretary but haven't heard from him. Was hoping we could get a little more information on the work they did. It is quite a good story though. Too bad there aren't more of those guys out there, or if there are, they aren't heard about and go largely un-noticed and un-appreiciated.
