    Greetings, All.

    Just found this site and decided to join. Don't own a Maverick/Comet (yet), but I've always liked the cars. I'm a 64 year old retired Navy man with a wife, a dog, two grown daughters and one grandson.

    In addition to Fords and drag racing, I'm a pipe smoker/collector, a fair pool player, an avid reader and (I've been told) a real nice guy.:)

    Nice to be here, and hope to meet some of you at some drag strip or car show.

    Cheers,
    Frank

    If you ain't got three pedals, you're a passenger.
