I will start with his dad. Frank Beltz...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: It’s back to school for young and old, a happy day for some!

Imagine keeping cars off roads, some ‘millions’ every year! That sure saves folks some ‘bucks’ on gas – you...

They would talk about 4 barrels and dual exhaust. They would talk rpm and gear ratios. I could drive a 4 speed pickup or a 2 ton truck with a load of grain. And I...
