<p><font face="Times New Roman">Thank you Mark for all you've done.
Without your lists I wouldn't have been able to meet & help
some wonderful Triumph, Alpine, MG, & Spridget folks. I
would not have met Ron, Peter, Jim, Mark, Charlie, Kevin, Larry,
Linda, Ellen, Ed, Don, Jeff, Dave, Glenn and FRANK (who had a
knack of bringing everyone together). There's a host of others
that got together for the Sprite 50th and the Spridget 50th and
the O.S.H.I.T. meetings too. Mark, we became a family on these
lists. You've changed lives. We deeply appreciate all that
you've done and continue to do and hope to God you're training
someone to take over if you decide to close the garage doors. <br>

our return from D.C. via the Blue Ridge Pkwy and the Smokies.
Lots of great scenery and time to think about "the answer to
life, the universe, and everything". For you "Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy" fans it's NOT "42" [Read the book ;-) ],
it's the people from whom we get answers to our questions. For
this bunch, stricken with this mechanical illness as we are,
it's people like Frank and Paul who are no longer around to
answer questions. Ha! We only THINK they're not around!
Seldom does a car day go by when I don't ask WWFD or WWPD and
then I go to the list and there are the archives or those of you
who learned from them and (important point here) REMEMBER and
know the answers and can help the rest of us. The proverbial
hat is off to all of you and attached is the article I have
hanging on my garage wall right below "Bic" Healey. Frank, in
his element. Thanks my car family, and thanks Frank and Paul.
Keep smiling!</font></p>

P.S.: Tim, Frank would be laughing his *** off at Ron running
afoul of the law. "Just another case of American blind justice".
Ron, how is it over there on the Group W bench?<br>
ROTFL!!<br>
