[DeTomaso] TORNADO IN OKLAHOMA

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Dennis,


             All is well at the Pantera Research Institute by God's 
grace and dumb luck with Mother Nature.  I *think* the other OKC Pantera 
owners survived unscathed, but I have yet to hear from all of them.


                         Counting my blessings,  Chuck Engles
