[...] The Blue Eagle is back on the road. I took it to Logan last Saturday for a stop at the Rotary district convention banquet. Having a local shop repair the transmission turned out to be the best choice. What would have taken a month and a few more years off my father’s life took some local pros a week. So aside from a few other minor quirks, it has been humming along the Utah freeways just fine. [...]

With a 94 year old father who still is unhappy about giving up his car and freedom, I can sympathize. We see them as older. They just don’t feel that way. Hope you can find a good mechanic who won’t mind a few tips from “experience”.

Calvin is absolutely correct, there is one amazing mechanic that works for Hansen Motors in Brigham City (only a couple of miles away from where I am now). Drop me a line and I will give you his name and number. He is very good, willing to work outside the dealership and is actually very reasonable. We consider him a good family friend.

Grrrr, how frustrating! I’ll ask around and see who or what I can suggest as well. Love you, Pete.

Your father & I must have somewhat the same background. I really fuss about not being able to do things that I once did with no sweat. My wife “badgers” me into hiring someone else to “sweat” the details. The only person I know who might have an inkling about doing a repair turns wrenches at Hansen Motors in Brigham City. I mention him only because he is restoring an old 1942 Chevy Busines coupe. But Brigham is many miles from Salt Lake.
