Just wanted to give a big thanks to a few forum members in Bradford Pa.. On my way through New York on my way to New Hampshire to attend a funeral with my ex wife and children, I notice some Transmission fluid puddling under my ex's car. Totally exhausted and after a couple setbacks already I was a little discouraged and worried. I was at a small gas station on the Seneca Indian reservation on a highway I had driven in the past and knew was sparsely populated. We had already passed a spot with lodging a while back and were ready to stop. Looking up I see a sign reading Bradford Pa. 10 miles with an arrow pointing south. Also hotel signs, I think maybe I can get a hold of Joe and Lauren and get a reference to a good mechanic. After finding a hotel and checking in I open the phone book and start looking to locate him based on a partial recollection of his last name from a package sent years earlier. I find a J. and what I think is his last name and the address coincided with a post I remembered associating with a bottle proprietors name. I call and leave a message and take a much needed shower. Get out of shower and have a return message on my phone and call back. Within minutes I have a name of a trusted mechanic, arise back to the hotel and I am riding along on a guided tour of the city with the mayor of the city. The transmission was fine, just the fluid had been over filled by the person my ex had bought it from, confirmed at no cost by Toms friend. Turns out Lauren had called Joe at work who in turn called Tom who called me. Got to go by and meet Joe for a minute. I was too tired to join them for dinner but was invited and it was a honor and a blessing to meet such fine folks. I look forward to possibly stopping in to say thanks on the return visit if schedule fits. Thanks guys and Lauren for everything, it may not have seemed like a big deal but it was for us.
