I married my wife in 1975, and have a daughter who graduated Colgate University in the top 1% of her class. She is now on her third masters degree.
I currently collect and restore Studebaker Automobiles. One of my cars is a 1956 Stidebaker Golden Hawk, done exactly like the one I drove to White Plains High School. The other cars are a 1947 Commander Starlight Coupe and a 1947 Commander Convertible. I also collect items that were printed, produced, or distributed by Studebaker. We have a vast collection of dealer items, including neon signs, and in my office we have a Gulf Gasoline gas pump, still set at 29.9 a gallon.
Besides running my own business , I run the Studebaker Drivers Club Company store.
