Rest in Peace Dennis Hoppe. When I found this picture I thought ... two old cars in the junkyard ... symbolic ... a 1957 Dodge Mayfair and an old Plymouth Valiant side by side ... memories ...
I just heard that my best friend from Biggar, Saskatchewan has just died to this life. He drove a Plymouth Valiant (it was purple) ... and my first date with Dee was in a 1957 Dodge Mayfair ... and now these cars ... 60 plus years since they rolled off the assembly line ... still side by side ... but now in the junkyard ... such is life ... so, symbolic.
I still remember that Mayfair all shined up on my graduation day ... and Dee in her yellow pouffy dress and me in my silver gray suit ... we really thought we had the world by the ass ...
Rest peacefully Dennis. The best friend that anyone could ever ask for ...
