My mom, Irene, just told me that I have the 1986 Dodge pickup that Rod bought new. Apparently he sold it to my parents' neighbor, Irv, and when Irv died many years ago his wife sold it to my dad. My mom was also born in 1921. Take comfort that you had so many years with your dad and must have so many, many memories. Take care, Helen
