It's his pride and joy and he loves telling the story of how he flew out to California, shopped around, found it, and then drove it back to Madison WI.
I wonder what will happen to it when he passes. He cares too much about it to just let it go but has no blood descendants, and I'm not sure anyone in the extended family would really be interested - at least interested enough to care about it as much as he would prefer.
