I bought a non-running 1957 MGA 1500 roadster in December, 2021, with the idea that it would be my retirement project.  By February, 2022, I was under the bonnet, renting space in a fully-equipped shop.  The car is currently unassembled, with parts in three locations in Findlay, Ohio.  It is registered for GT-50, which will be our first GT.<\/p>\n<p>Debbie and I have been married for 45 years.  We have 2 sons, 2 daughters-in-laws and 7 grandchildren.  I graduated from The University of Findlay and have a masters degree from The Ohio State University. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to tinkering with my MGA, we follow the Cleveland Indians, I&#8217;m a member of Bible Study Fellowship and I enjoy skeet shooting.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve met many new friends through my MGA ownership and NAMGAR.  I look forward to contributing to the success of MGA!
