If your "metalworking" includes working on early Fords, you'll want to
know that my dad, the owner of Wescott's Auto Restyling, passed away

and past president of the Multnomah Hotrod Council Founder and owner of
Wescott's Auto Restyling, an award-winning
custom shop, body shop, and manufacturer of bodies and fenders for

the City of Damascus

Father, brother, son, etc.

A very productive life and man. Think they're still makin' any like
that?

There are some out there, but he was definitely a one-off. He was able
to work me into the ground any day right up until the tumor announced
itself by giving him a seizure, and a few times after that, to boot.

Given that he applied some of that energy to public life he's touched a
good many people in this neck of the woods.
