One of our local AACA members, Ken Packard, came over to get his 1st driving lesson in a Model T. I willingly supplied my 14. I figured heck, if the Navy trusts him to drive a submarine, he should be just fine in a Model T. Yes- Ken has been selected to command a U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine! Right now he is attending a couple of special schools before he assumes command, so there is a little spare time to play with cars. Ken owns a Packard, but loves early brass era stuff and learning to drive a T was high on his list. His kids enjoyed the time riding around the neighborhood. Ken took to the Model T like a duck to water - or should I say - a sailor to a ship. We're proud of him and wish him every success.

Thanks Terry! This is what it is all about!

Is he related to James and William Packard?

I thought this post was about music?

I thought of that also when I titled the post-I also have it in my collection. Do you collect automobile sheet music, or just Ford related?

Welcome aboard, Commander Packard! Cheers, Bill

Hi Terry,
The wife collects Ford Sheet music along with other Model t Ford paper.

Not much of that stuff here in Australia so we used to get it on ebay or when we were on visits in the USA.
easy to bring back in a suitcase more so than parts.
lean pickings the last few years though.

I have that piece of sheet music, and many others. I also was in submarines, and retired from the Navy with 20 years service.

Thanks for your service! It takes a special person indeed to serve in submarines.
Terry
