Tigger Porter, center, with high school students in Corona, Calif., who overhauled her family's 1969 Jeepster Commando. (Corona-Norco Unified School District) From a California high school comes a touching story of family, dedication, and engineering as a mob of students finished restoring a 1969 Jeep that was very special to a nearby family. Shane Porter, husband and father of two fine young men, was struggling with two cancers when he bought a 1969 Jeep Commando as a family fixer-upper. He hoped to create fond memories in what he knew could be his last few years.
