Dear Mr. Mayton:
I saw your
letter in Special Interest Auto and read the web site. I noted it said
to share pictures and memories.
I am enclosing a
picture I have had for many years. It was taken in August of 1953. I
was a Senior National Scholarship winner in the Fisher Body
Craftsman's Guild. My winning entry was on tour inside a Futurliner!
I was always
very proud of my entry being connected with the Parade of Progress and
the Futurliner.
I wish you good
luck in bringing a unit back to life.

Dear Don:
Thank you very
much for the E-Mail and mention of the Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild.
The requirements you mentioned were one of the main categories of the
judging.
I am enclosing a check to apply towards restoration
expense of the Futurliner. To "zero in" on a project is one
thing. To have many people involved within the same project is truly
something special.
We probably will never meet in person. I
am in the second row, second from the right. Say hello to all
of your hard workers for me.
I will hear the engine when you are ready to
"fire it up."
