Yes, this is sad. Just ask Steven Kingsbury when he lost #598 in
Paradise fire. I'm sure there have been many other losses. If I had
been still living in Bonny Doon, where we did, my cars may have
perished as well. Hank

It sometimes crosses my mind how many great old cars undergoing
restoration have been lost to wildfires in the past few years.

Hello
While I am well aware of the differences between the DMH Memorial
Grove and the fishing shelter I would like to publish something about
both in the next Australian Austin-Healey.
Would anyone have high resolutions pics of both places that they can
send me please? Before/after the fire pics would be perfect. A few
words would help too.
I would suggest that not many Austin-Healey owners in Australia and
New Zealand would be aware of it all. I think they should be.
Many thanks

I found the photos of the fishing shelter monument in Grants pass. It
IS cast in stone! Maybe a more fitting marker for the Big Basin
monument? Bill Bolton was responsible for all this effort. This is
located in a park in Josephine County and was nice to visit it years
ago...most of the people in the park did not know who Geoff Healey
was, but they used the shelter anyway. Hank

Thanks fot setting the record straight

OK lets get the record straight. First of all, it was Geoff Healey
who liked fishing-not Donald. He came to the Oregon meet and stayed
with the Boltons and went fishing. The Oregon club dedicated a fishing
shed in Grants Pass in honor of Geoff.
The DMH Memorial grove was the idea from Dick Santana (SMOG) as he
found out that for $10K we could purchase a whole grove for someone.
He raised the money and it got done. Then we had a dedication in
1989-just after the meet in Rippling River, OR. Geoff & Margo and John
and Joy Healey attended the meet and the dedication. The sign was
refurbished and rededicated in 2003.
At the same time, another group of Healey enthusiasts; some in AHCPC
and some in AHCA and with the support of other regional clubs, started
another drive to purchase a stained glass window in the church in
Warwick in honor of Donald. That too was accomplished. (at least it
was closer to his home)
As far as making sense of it all; folks wanted to honor these people
in whatever way they could and although Donald never had anything to
do with the Big Basin Park, it was a gesture of respect by Healey
owners.
I too, thought it a bit off the mark, but never-the-less contributed
to the grove fund as respect for Donald. Its too bad that the sign was
not cast in stone, and if redone, maybe it should, as that is the
second monument that we have lost.
You can find the original dedication story and photos in the club
magazine for July/August 1989 issue. Regards, Hank, healeyhelper.com

I don't mean to be disrespectful but ...... why is there a memorial
for Donald Healey in a Redwood Grove? I remember when it was being
strongly promoted by Oregon club member BillBolton and ultimately
dedicated. It didn't make sense to me then. I still don't get it. Was
there ever any personal connection between the Redwoods and Donald
that I was not aware of?

I am looking for some photos of the original DMH Grove sign. I have
to put together my column for our newsletter. And figured this may be
the topic. Then maybe we can put a fund together to replace it.
I have all the past Healey Highlights so if someone can tell me the
year it was dedicated i can then start searching.

With 17 years in the woods I suspect that the sign was due for a
facelift again. Hopefully it and the trees made it though the
conflagration but if not I’m sure the faithful well rise to the call
just as the seed will sprout again.

I was afraid of that. The sign can be replaced, we will never see the
redwoods again--if they are gone--but some have seen fire before.

Bob- Don't think the wood sign faired to well in the firestorm. Most
of the plaques on the back were plastic-few metal. Here is an article
from the last rebuild...maybe someone could rebuild it again. I
remember it well, and we had reunions there on Donald's birthday, July
3.
Many other dedicated groves were also lost. Here is a note from
Sempervirens about those:

Compared to the losses suffered by some, this is trivial, but I hope
it
survives.
