Mom got this one stolen when it was in the shop. Got it back a few weeks later, only thing missing was the boot for the top, lucky they did not steal the back seat. Nobody ever figured out how to fix the fuel gauge. Cops found it on a dead end street, out of gas. Hey, that is Mike Blanchard standing next to his Alfa, never noticed he was in that pic.

Mom went to Creighton too. When the time came to pick a residency, she goes to the guy and he asks her if she wants to go into Pediatrics or Obstetrics.

"I was thinking more of being a Pathologist."

"But you are a woman."

"Yes, I know that, but I am not interested in Obstetrics or Pediatrics."

"But you are a woman."

"Yes, I realized that prior to medical school, and I am not doing OB or Pedi.

"You are not going to get a residency in the state of Nebraska in anything besides Obstetrics or Pediatrics."

She went home and told my father that she was moving to California to do a residency and he was welcome to come. I guess they had been married about 2 or 3 years. She ended up going into anesthesia and I was born where she did her residency. True story.
