| Other Activities |
I collect and restore 70 to 100 year old natural gas and gasoline engines. They were originally used as a source of power on farms, in small shops and on oil fields. My engines range in weight from 300 to 7000 pounds. I also collect engine related memorablia and other 'junk'. I am a volunteer with the Alzheimer's Association. |
