Once again, thanks for your diligence and hard work in assembling all this info and making it available to the Pontiac enthusiasts.

Your dad's biography brought up a question in my mind. He seemed like the traditional shadetree mechanic who focused on just his car. On the other hand, working for a car company, he had a hand in advancing the progress of the of the fleet of cars produced through the next production cycles.

I see the progress as being internal and external. But I do think that a lot of progress is only possible after a new cohort of engineers gets their real education from techs, mechs, and draftsmen. Then they can go change the world.

My uncle had a million stories about dealing with new engineers with a common punchline: They all agreed that he had been right all along and if only they had listened to him........

Please advise if you percieve to care and feeding of engineers in a similar manner as what I have seen <G>
