From RampantNM at aol.com Tue Jul 1 09:36:49 2008 From: RampantNM at aol.com (RampantNM at aol.com) Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 11:36:49 EDT Subject: [Autojumble] Elizabeth and Fisher Jones Message-ID: Fellow LBCer?s, I received a phone call last night from Elizabeth Jones. Her husband Fisher suffered a heart attack this weekend and is in the hospital in San Antonio. Elizabeth is with him, and he is still in coronary care, but is alert and OK for the time being. A catheterization will be performed as soon as they are sure he is up to it. Since she is at his bedside, Elizabeth has no internet access, and has asked me to inform everyone that she must cancel the sale she had proposed for this weekend. She apologizes to everyone and will reschedule as soon as she can. Many of her friends from the Spridget list were in transit, so she called me as she knew I wasn?t able to attend. I ask that you keep Fisher and Elizabeth in your prayers. I?m sure she will be sending updates as soon as she is able. Regards, Robert B. Houston 74.5 MGBGT 73 MG Midget As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Skinners Union carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the Haynes shop manual. **************Gas prices getting you down?

Years and years of Practical Classics, Classic Cars, etc. etc. Along with about two dozen books on various topics. I need to move house and this is just too much stuff. Would love to move it along to a similar LBC fan. Email if you want more info.

My thanks to Robert Houston for letting you know of the change in plans because of the heart attack. Fisher also developed pneumonia whilst he was in the hospital, and it is something I shall have to be very careful of, as he is still bedridden for the most part.

In about a month over the winter holidays, we collectively raised $1853. Great success by any measure. I hadn't thought about it recently, until I received a couple of emails from past donors asking if I would be doing it again anytime soon. The short answer was no; but if the will is there, I'd have no problem dedicating time to it again. The process is easy. So here we are. I've received donations/pledges of $2050 in the last week. With all that is happening with the housing and job markets and fuel prices, it might be a stretch for some; so do what you can, IF you can. If you care to donate at this time you can send a donation of $5, 10, ??? to the paypal account troopcalls at gmail.com . As in the past, I'll post first name and last name initials (unless you tell me you want to stay anonymous) and as card purchases are made, the donors will receive a purchase receipt via email. No tax deductions for you or me. I'll keep an updated list here and you can follow along: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=419397 For those not familiar with what we did, below is a link that takes you back to the original drive: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=385849 Any questions, just drop me a line.
