Omg, Ray, what a surprise to find you here. All my love to you and your family, I hope you’re coping ok with the loss of Tom. He was totally beautiful, if not visually.

I’ve been listening to you since the early 1980’s, when I had a 1969 Rambler that I bought for $600 that was literally driven only by a little old lady in NH to the grocery store and church on Sundays, that had 6,800 miles on it. You guys convinced me that I could fix the timing & carburetor & change the oil and be a grease monkey. I was invincible, because of you.

My question is, I ended up selling that 1969 Rambler to my best friend, in 1988, for $350. She then turned around and the next week sold it to her boyfriend for $700. We had a hell of a laugh over that. I haven’t seen her or talked to her since 1989, and suddenly last week I got a friend request from her on Facebook.

Should I accept her friend request? After she flipped my car so hard? Should I believe that she looks so good in her profile pic, or assume she’s catfishing me like she did when she netted my Rambler?

Ha! This sounds like a show question.

Jeez, I think I'm the only one who never saw that movie. Now that I know you're in it, I'll definitely watch it!

I think one of my favorite shows was one I heard when you had your Mom on for Mother's Day. She was wonderful.

What kind of car did she drive, and did you and Tom argue over getting her set up in proper transportation? I could imagine him putting her in a classic Coup deVille, while you argued for a Rav4.

I hope this isn't too personal, but if it is, go ahead and don't answer.

Is there any way that you wish all of your fans could help with Alzheimer's research, or healthcare management or reforms, or social ways of helping people with Alzheimer's or other aging issues?

I know losing Tom must be hard for your family, as losing a couple people to Alzheimer's has been hard for my family. Even so, it's hard to know how to help in the big picture.
