Wow! Sounds like you had an antique (bomb, that is).
Sorry to hear about losing your dad. Lost mine 14 years ago, but will never forget him. Those early morning fishing trips to farm ponds when I was a kid are alive in my memory.
That's why I think Marty is the real reason to listen to Sean. He reminds me of many of our dads - including mine. Spunky old bugger!
