Tom,
Thanks for the catch on the Heisler actually being only a couple months apart on birthdays.
And while the #2 does look sad now it wouldn't be too much to do a really good cosmetic restoration. There are people in the community up there that do care for that engine. She is by no means neglected. In fact many of the fittings and appliances that appear to be missing are really in "storage" by various people in the area waiting for someone to restore the engine.
