[Rovernet] Sad News

[Steve Manwell]

Garrett,

Sorry to hear about Ted.  Here is a link to some photos from the Rover 
salvage weekend you mention, including one of Ted towing a P6 to 
somewhere more accessible.  It was good of Ted to let us come in and 
salvage what we could before the P6's had to go and he was pretty gentle 
on our wallets considering all that we managed to pack into our Saab and 
Volvo parts haulers.  You were a fine host on the Saturday evening 
between salvage sessions, including grand tour of your shop, 3500, and 
Land Rover 130 project, all in a beautiful Maine village setting.
