Hey Guys - thanks for all the compliments and well wishes for Zach. The application process itself to the Academy is pretty stiff - almost 15 months long. We have our fingers crossed. The whole father-son project was a once in a lifetime event and would strongly recommend it to anyone. Zach has participated in transporting disabled vets in several parades and has presented the truck and has a little slideshow explaining the M37 in service, along with the before and after story. He has also been to a few elementary schools as well. The most remarkable involved 200 fourth and fifth graders from an economically challenged area. When we went into the gym in the morning to set up, there were about 45 meals laid out for kids who could not afford breakfast. Zach asked why the meals were laying out, when he saw these kids come filing in, it really hit home. This was his first ride, our first time ever working on a vehicle, first ever resto, and everyday we walk out in the garage, you can't help grinning! Season best to you guys!
