Now that the shock is beginning to wear off I've had time to consider =
Uncle Jack's legacy. At the top of the list for me would have to be =
Tony Drews. When I'd send an e-mail with one of my many questions it =
was always to the "Drews", Jack and Tony. Many times I'd hear from Tony =
first,and if it was an engine question, he'd defer to Jack, or as he'd =
usually say, "I'll think I'll let Uncle Jack chime in on this one." But =
on a lot of the other questions Tony would get back to me promptly with =
an answer. I think he was taking some of the "load" off of Jack, =
especially as I see all of the other posts from people that Jack was =
helping.
Tony has also been very active on the list as we all know and, as =
Jack was, in answering questions and giving input to the threads.
While we were building the car we'd seek out Jack and Tony at =
Elkhart Lake and Tony would spend whatever time it took to go over =
things with us. I recall when he spent about 1/2 hour reviewing his =
fuel system, pump, filter, regulator, pressure gauge, plumbing, =
fittings, mounting, the whole works.
Again, after the car was built and after ELVF last Fall when we had =
a problem with the transmission and I finally got around to fixing it =
last winter and realized I'd have to get the OD off (and back on!) I =
e-mailed the "Drews" again and it was Tony who gave me advice. But the =
part that shows that "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree", is in =
one post when I was having my doubts about doing it and Tony says, =
"Well, I guess I'll just take a weekend holiday in Fond du Lac, =
Wisconsin if you really get into trouble." That turned out not to be =
necessary, but he was willing to take a weekend and drive up here to =
help another Triumph team.
I said in my "memories" post that the car wouldn't be what it is and =
as problem free as it has been without the help from Uncle Jack. I =
should have said without the help and encouragement from the "Drews", =
Jack and Tony.
I think Jack's helpfulness, kindness and graciousness is living on =
in Tony. Any father would be happy and proud to leave this world =
knowing he was leaving a son like Tony behind.
To me that's Uncle Jack's greatest legacy.
