Ralph,
While in Florida for vacation, my wife wanted to visit the local flea market. While killing time in one of an endless series of junk shops, I found this new Wedding Congratulations card that is so apropos that it is spooky! I did not scan the inside as it simply says "Congratulations", but the scan below shows the front and back of the card. Please send me your mailing address and I will send this card to Alina and you as another keepsake from your memorable trip.
Mark!
You're TOO kind!
Thank you for the thoughts. Please see below:

PS:
After some confusion at my job (including my being switched to a different division and possibly headed for Rotterdam, Holland within the next 10 days), I have flown home a few weeks early.
Alina and I are planning to get over to New Hampshire to complete the Desoto Odyssey road trip home to Maine.
The ole gal (the Desoto, not Alina) is awaiting and we shall be there next Tuesday. Once in the driveway, my sweetheart (Alina, NOT the Desoto) and I will put the finishing touches on this wacky story and share with everyone here.
Thank you guys and gals, for your patience.
Ralph
Most Sincerely,
Ralph M Bohm

I have been in Jacksonville-Florida from 28 November until 14 December and
now I am ready to read more about your De Soto.
Today The Rocky Mountain Chapter of The Walter P. Chrysler Club had our Christmas Gift Exhange and Meal. I asked Wayne if he had heard from ya
( you know the answer ).

Hola All
Some of you are "new to the site" and may not of had a chance to slooooowly
read all of the posting back to the beginning of time.
When another De Soto Driver came to Colorado to retrieve their car, they
complained because of the consumption rate of fuel they had used from Denver
to our place here in Colo Springs. I did as I felt that any De Soto Driver would
do to another De Soto Driver - we removed The Carburetor from our De Soto
and presented it to them to use.
Please look at the attached photo's. It is what I got in return.

Next time I'll let them use the complete car !

Hey Rodger!
I just got to read this message you'd posted. Thanks for the kind words. Your Desoto is an absolute beaut and I know it will be quite a project for us to get ours looking as good. I tell you what, I sure wouldn't mind taking a ride in yours. Hey, I still remember how cool it was of you to follow us all the way to the state line. That was more than a year and a half ago.
Well, I hope we can get back out there soon.
Ralph M Bohm
Most Sincerely,

Hello Lee!
This is the trip we did in 2012 and we are just up the road a piece in Bucksport. Let's get together some time. We will get our ole Desoto running and take a drive over to China (Maine) if the weather allows sometime next week perhaps.
Ralph
