I'm doing just fine Mr. Wilkins, I live in a little town called Pentwater, Michigan, where on Lake Michigan, where I went through high school. We travel a lot in the Winter, with our motorhome and usually end up in Yuma, AZ until it gets a little warmer up here.

I remember your Mom and Dad, they were pretty darn nice people, and quite humorous too, they were also as short as you and ME!! Ha.

I think I remember you were working in some sort of TV production in the Indy area, am I right?

Take care, Jack

So very sad to hear of this.Yet,another part of my life gone forever.Rest in peace,old friend, you will be greatly missed.He was a great man and true friend. I will always remember him,his cigar, and wonderful wife,as well as his brother Jim, who drove for my dad,"pappy" in the old Volvo midget.It is too bad that true legends of midget racing like Ed and my dad were ignored by the hall of fame.......

Yes, in fact I'm still in the video business and started my own little production company a year ago producing HD videos for corporations, who use interactive DVDs to help market their products and services.

I'm very familiar with Pentwater. One of my very close friends, who I went to high school with, has a cabin about 45 minutes south of Pentwater. What a beautiful area.

Glad to hear you are doing well.

George
