I too had a fantastic time visiting with friends from R&R, seeing the exhibits and listening to the stories. Thanks to Randy and Tim for organizing our visit.
For our first date on Feb. 20th, 1977, I took Patsy to the Elvis Concert in Charlotte at the old coliseum. I think the tickets were $20 each. We loved his show!
Thanks to everyone for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. I was able to come home this afternoon. I still have to go back for more tests but I am improving. It is going to be a slow recovery and for a week or so more since my white blood count was down to 1 for my own protection I have to stay away from a lot of people or break out my mask LOL.
The problem started about 3 months or so ago and originated from a mistake on a prescription which if not for the continuous migraine headaches and the pursuit of the cause of them would have turned lethal for me.
Thankfully with the support of a lot of great friends, your thoughts, prayers and support and also the excellent Drs. at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital I am still here.
Again thank you all for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers.

Woody, I remember Mark's ASA car with the one rear spring. It was a slick setup and worked out great for him.
In 82 when Mark had his own team and was running for rookie of the year I was part timehelp on his crew at the track.
That year started off bad for him at Daytona. The engine was hydraulicked on Sunday morning. The crew chief elected not to do an engine change and so the engine did not make but a few laps before she let go. After that race the crew chief was let go too.
Later in the year the sponsor (Apache Stove) ran out of money so with everything else happening as well it spelled doom for Mark and his team.
My thoughts and prayersare withhis family and friends.
