Hold me, thrill me, kiss me..... a tribute

Carlita with one of the cannons that Grandpappy built in the machine shop in his basement:

Grandpappy was conquered by stomach cancer during the 1970s. Later Carlita married another dentist named Ken. She had a thang for the dashing gentleman dentists.

Memories are wonderful. Never let them go. I love that song too. "Hold me, thrill me, never let me go" sung by Mel Carter.

Peace to you FHN.

Her coupe deville, which only had 23,000 miles on it when I visited her in 1975, was a blue gray color and looked a lot like this:

I'm pretty sure it was a 63 coupe deville, but the 61 and 62 look similar. It has the understated tail fins from the early 60s.

Great song.

Peace to you, too Happy Dad. She was a colorful, very special book of memories.

She used to take right to her dresser drawer, when we'd visit her, and give us gum with sugar. Now think about it, her husband was a dentist and we had six kids in our family.

It's truly a great song, Bizzy. It impressed me that my grandmother loved the song, too. She had a passion for life, a gusto really.
