Doggie Doors
I’ve had a house full of family members visiting this fall, and with all these people came 4 dogs. Now, I must say all the dogs, along with my old dog, got along really well. One thing that helped was the fact that I have a doggie door next to the back door. Unfortunately, 2…

Richard and Mary Lou Hurd’s Nash Ambassador Richard Hurd… “Why do I like Nashautomobiles, you ask?” “One good reason is that I do not meet many of them when I am driving mine down the road!” Richard was working in his Springfield, Vermont shop the morning that I called him. He was working on a…

As you all, I’m sure, are aware by now, Gary Fiske a number of months ago sent word to the Board of Directors that he had made the big decision to step down as Editor of Wheel Tracks after publication of the October 2021 edition. He did not come to this lightly and let the…

Saying Goodbye
I have written a couple of times about my precious kitty, Willy, and how he came into our lives, along with his history or what was the last 7 years of his life with us. Well, his time has come to an end, and we have had to say goodbye. We were fortunate to have…

Flowers – Pruning & Blooming
I have recently come to the realization that I’m not a very good gardener. When we first moved to Underhill, being very young and having started accumulating kids, we moved into a wonderful old house that once belonged to Gael’s grandparents. Gael’s Grandma Bessie was an amazing gardener and she started her flower beds in…

1967 Austin Healey 300 Mk III
A love story for the “VAE Books”. When John Spencer sent pictures to Wheel Tracks, he was asked about the young lady. He replied, “That is the girl I chased with my Healey!” The young lady is Jane Spencer. John purchased this Austin Healey 3000 Mk-lll in 1970 and his plan worked… what a car… what a catch! …

Shuffle off to Buffalo? No, silly. Your list!
Have you ever noticed how things get lost in the shuffle? From the extra sock in the laundry room that hasn’t found its mate, to the health savings card sitting on your desk that needs verification on how much money is left on it, to the pile of stuff at the bottom of the stairs that needs…

Life Changes
For as long as I can remember, the previous generation or generations have had changes, that they were very vocal about, said changes not being right or not needed. “Things had never been done that way and it makes no sense to change them now”. One of the ‘biggies’ was the automobile. Stories have been…
