Barney Eaton Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 For some reason I did not know that Ronnie had a forum along with his other great information on Reattas. I am a regular on the AACA forum.... most of the time at the Reatta site but also look at other Buick post. I am the BCA technical advisor for Reattas........doesn't mean I know everything about Reattas but probably know someone that does. My only Reatta for about the last 9 years is a 1991 Black/red coupe with CD and 16 way seats, it has around 28K miles. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Walker Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I've seen your name on the Reatta Parts Vendor's list so your post was one of immediate recognition. Glad your on the ROJ and look forward to you weighing in on Q's and concerns of other Reatta owners. Agree with Ronnie - your Reatta is pretty sharp! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted August 23, 2021 Topic Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) I have trouble with technology...... I was trying to post this under the new member section and it ended up being a new post, sorry. I have some decisions to make..... wife broke her hip at Christmas, daughter lives in Dallas and she suggested rehab there so she could help. after rehab, we moved her to a memory unit as I was having problem taking care of her by myself. The hip is healed and she can walk as good as me. but the memory does not get any better. It is about 180 miles between my house and the daughters and I am trying to spend more time at home because there is always something that need to be done at home. Because of advancing age, wife 3 hours away, I need to make some future plans about where I live. Nothing to rush into but I have a lot of "stuff" that need sorting thru and much of it will need a new home. I sold my '39 Buick Century just before she broke her hip. Have a 1965 Corvair Corsa convertible that will need a new home, a collection of table top scales, pocket knife collection, and these old brass pumps used before we had electricity.

No problem Barney. We are pretty relaxed around here about where things get posted. Sorry to hear about your wife. It sounds like it might be a real hardship on you having to try to be in two places at once. I hope the situation will work out better for you in the future. Sounds like you have already started the process of downsizing if you need to move. I hope your Reatta is the last one to go. You are an asset to the Reatta community and I would hate to see you leave it. I'm pretty old and I've never saw any pumps like those in your photo. I'm sure an antique collector would be happy to get them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padgett Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I really shouldn't ask but please send info on the Corvair. Could it be driven to Florida ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ship Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Welcome Barney. Very sorry to hear about your wife. I really like the color combo of your Reatta. I met you back in 2011 at the Danvers, MA BCA National. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
