I=E2=80=99m Very aware many had lost significant invest thru Charles Runyan=E2=
=80=99s failure to disclose the the fact that the investment I we're not sec=
ured thru a supposed life insurance policy. In personally do not believe he h=
ad Malice as his intent, I believe he though he could eventually pay everyon=
e back. I personally don=E2=80=99t know anyone who hadn=E2=80=99t received s=
ome investment payment return. I=E2=80=99m not saying there weren=E2=80=99t,=
 I just don=E2=80=99t  know of anyone.  Prior to his death everyone thought h=
ighly of him.=20

I Also do not believe that Albert was copious in Charles intent. He has a en=
ormous amount of weight on his shoulders in trying to keep the TRF upright, h=
e also has the well-being and financial future of all his employees to be co=
ncerned with.=20

Regardless of your opinion of Charles, he was responsible for many obsolete p=
arts being remanufactured, he also helped in advancing the supply chain of o=
ur beloved hobby. =20

Many of you know I just finished restoring a TR6 in honor of my brother. Alb=
ert personally handled every single transaction regarding my car. To me now i=
s the time to support him and the TRF. We can=E2=80=99t afford to lose this v=
aluable resource. There isn=E2=80=99t another vendor who supports our hobby a=
s the they do. I=E2=80=99ve hosted several VTR regional and National convent=
ions, the TRF was always willing to support the event either thru sponsorshi=
p or donations , and they were willing come and set up their store  making p=
arts available on site. No other vendor was willing to come and do this.=20

I will, and intend  to continue to purchase from them and I will be supporti=
ng them now more than ever. Can I purchase parts cheaper?  probably. Am I wi=
lling to wait for backorders even though the same part is available from ano=
ther vendor? Yes.  And I have=20

They have supported us now we need to support them.  I am certain that those=
 who had invested and lost their investment won=E2=80=99t feel as I do and t=
hat=E2=80=99s certainly understandable. =20

That=E2=80=99s just my 2 cents=20
