[Fot] TRF

[Ronnie Babbitt]

I’m Very aware many had lost significant invest thru Charles Runyan’s failure to disclose the the fact that the investment I we're not secured thru a supposed life insurance policy. In personally do not believe he had Malice as his intent, I believe he though he could eventually pay everyone back. I personally don’t know anyone who hadn’t received some investment payment return. I’m not saying there weren’t, I just don’t  know of anyone.  Prior to his death everyone thought highly of him. 

I Also do not believe that Albert was copious in Charles intent. He has a enormous amount of weight on his shoulders in trying to keep the TRF upright, he also has the well-being and financial future of all his employees to be concerned with. 

Regardless of your opinion of Charles, he was responsible for many obsolete parts being remanufactured, he also helped in advancing the supply chain of our beloved hobby.  

Many of you know I just finished restoring a TR6 in honor of my brother. Albert personally handled every single transaction regarding my car. To me now is the time to support him and the TRF. We can’t afford to lose this valuable resource. There isn’t another vendor who supports our hobby as the they do. I’ve hosted several VTR regional and National conventions, the TRF was always willing to support the event either thru sponsorship or donations , and they were willing come and set up their store  making parts available on site. No other vendor was willing to come and do this. 

I will, and intend  to continue to purchase from them and I will be supporting them now more than ever. Can I purchase parts cheaper?  probably. Am I willing to wait for backorders even though the same part is available from another vendor? Yes.  And I have 

They have supported us now we need to support them.  I am certain that those who had invested and lost their investment won’t feel as I do and that’s certainly understandable.  

That’s just my 2 cents
