Leon, I remember you, its been a long time and I'm glad to see you're still out there. Sorry to hear about your wife, from what I remember she was very nice ! Also sad to here about your lost love of your Squarebacks . 
   You might not remember me but I was active in NONA and the type 3 groups back when you were. I haven't been too active lately due to my car not running for over 10 years. I go to car shows and meet ups every now and then to show my face and say hello.  My motor is so close to being done and I will be back on the road again soon. 
    I really liked your Square but I don't really have room for them. Good luck in finding them a home, I miss you man!
