clipped from: news.wyotech.edu When Andrew Stiles returns from Iraq in May, the Oklahoma resident will have a surprise waiting for him, perhaps sitting in the airplane hangar when he steps off to meet his family.
The 1973 Plymouth Barracuda he’s owned for 30 years this Valentine’s Day-and been meaning to fix up for quite some time-will be waiting for him. As for that restoration he's yet to get around to, the students at WyoTech will have already taken care of it.
A neighbor of Stiles, with two nephews as WyoTech graduates, contacted the school about the project, and WyoTech has agreed to restore the car this spring in time for Stiles' homecoming.
"For nine years, the guy’s been walking past it, looking at it, kicking the tires, wishing and hoping, and now he’s out serving," Mikkelson said.
