[Nobbc] FW: Ron Engelhardt

[Liam O'Flaherty]

I too was shocked to hear about Ron.  He was a good friend.

Lets face it, he was the club.  His smile and personality was genuine. He
constantly reminded us that the only rule in the club was that there were no
rules.  His attitude was refreshing.

When I joined a few years back he was very happy to see another mga out there.
We constantly talked about all the mechanical issues we had with our cars and
the simple fixes to make them go again.

I haven't been active lately since my engine is in the midst of a rebuild
suffering from insufficient funding.  I will see you all at bad ass this
saturday but I will be driving my dodge truck instead of my mga. This saturday
may be our biggest ride ever.

Another issue to deal with will be the NOBBC web site since Ron's email is
currently the contact email to join.

He will be missed .
